I am so grateful for this scripture because of how I feel when I apply it.
"Fear not to do good, my [children],
for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap;
therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward."
(D&C 6:33)
Everyday I want to do good. Sometimes though, I get afraid- of rejection, or being made fun of, or not doing it well enough. Perhaps those are just excuses to not act...I don't know.
What I do know is that Christ "went about doing good" (Acts 10:38). Therefore, as a disciple of Christ I will follow His example. I find that as I apply this counsel from the Lord, to not be afraid of doing good, I am happier, more positive and kinder towards others.
One of the good things I love to sow is to be friendly to everyone. I have been pleasantly surprised by people and their reactions as I smile at them. Almost 100% of the time people smile back. It is true in the small moment of smiling, what I sow, I reap.
People sure are beautiful when they smile. Therefore, do good. It makes a world of difference.
Doing good- My children and their cousins helped with some of the tiles for a public mosaic.
sowing good = reaping good
