The Fruit Follows the Root
“For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.” — Galatians 6:8 (NASB 1995)
What we feed grows. If we sow to the flesh—self-indulgence, gossip, bitterness—we reap spiritual ruin. But if we sow to the Spirit—obedience, worship, truth—we reap life.
This is more than moral advice. It’s a spiritual law.
The Holy Spirit empowers us to live sowing to life, not death. It’s not always easy, but it is always fruitful.
Reflection:
Am I feeding my spirit or my flesh? What needs to change?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I choose to sow into what pleases You. Help me turn away from the flesh and pursue the life only You can give. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
