Perhaps you have had an experience that illustrates this Biblical principle: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7, NKJV). The following story illustrates this truth.
A group of coolies (Asian slaves) had been hired by an Asian farmer to bring in his grain harvest. All through the day the men carried basketfuls of grain.
As the sun was setting, the coolies made their way in with the baskets of grain. Each one was met at the door by the farmer. He said, “Don’t empty the basket. It is your pay for the day.”
Those who had chosen the larger baskets were joyful. Those who chose to do minimal work by selecting the smaller baskets turned away sorrowful.
People who develop an unselfish, generous attitude will certainly experience a happier, richer life than those who are stingy and selfish.
