Those Who Sow Peace Reap Righteousness

📝Reflection

James likens peace to a seed. The seed of peace sown today grows, in time, into the fruit of righteousness. Conversely, the seed of strife sown today returns as greater conflict. This is not morality but the logic of time. Impatient, I have often sown seeds of conflict, then labored later to pull up the weeds. The peacemaker may seem to lose in the moment, but as time passes, they come to own the richest field. Between seed and fruit there is always time.
