We sow our time and effort in the work we do for the harvest of income. When no planting has been invested, reaping becomes far-fetched. The hand that sows must reap. Sowing can be in any form. It can be in form a simply gesture or a special sacrifice. Sacrifice implies investing the extra and additional endeavour which may not be easy, but difficult and painful.
Proverbs 19:17 (ESV) tell us that "Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed." Whatever good you do for others; you do for yourself. Good gestures are like ladders prepared ahead of the times they will be required in climbing over your own needs. Giving is conduit to Heaven's assets. It is bed you prepare for how you want to lay.
