Biblical language informs us that as we sow, so shall we reap.
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” – Galatians 6:7.
Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" invites the reader to consider the prospect of a young man selling his soul, in return for a life filled with self serving satisfaction. The portrait of Dorian Gray festering away in an attic recording his indifference to the rights, and needs of people he meets on his life's trek may well teach us that his due reward was his daily self destructive behaviour.
Jesus of Nazareth informs us that our growing happiness serving the needs of those people, who by perceived chance enter our orbit ensures that we are rewarded with all that The Father provides for our journey of enlightenment.
Accountability to Our Father is humbling.
Authentic accountability evidences an awareness of our personal humility toward The Saviour of our life.
Authentic accountability leads us into living wisely, listening to The Word speaking to us wtithin our thoughts, then implementing The Father's counselling into our life's story.
"Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences." ~ Robert Louis Stevenson.
