Whoever that watered others will be watered.

 Amen. That is a profound and beautiful truth straight from the Word of God.

You are referencing this wisdom:

"Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered."

— Proverbs 11:25 (ESV)

This is more than just a nice saying; it is a spiritual and universal principle established by God. It reveals the inherent law of sowing and reaping in the realm of kindness, generosity, and encouragement.

What This Principle Means

1. The Law of Spiritual Reciprocity: Just as a farmer who sows seed expects a harvest, when we "water" others—by investing in them, encouraging them, giving to them, or building them up—we set in motion a divine principle where God sees to it that we are also refreshed and replenished. The act of giving becomes the channel through which we receive.

2. It's About More Than Money: While it includes financial generosity, "watering" encompasses so much more:

   · Offering Encouragement: A kind word to a discouraged soul.

   · Sharing Wisdom: Mentoring or teaching someone.

   · Giving Time: Listening to someone who is lonely.

   · Showing Mercy: Forgiving someone who has wronged you.

   · Praying for Others: Interceding for their needs.

3. The Source is God: When we water others, we are not depleting our own limited resources. We are acting as conduits of God's infinite grace, love, and provision. As we give from what He has given us, He takes responsibility for our replenishment. You cannot outgive God.

A Reflection and a Caution

This is a promise, but it's important to understand its heart:

· The Motivation Matters: This principle is not a transactional formula for selfish gain. We don't water others in order to be watered. That would be manipulation, not generosity. Instead, we give freely and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7), and God, in His faithful love, honors His principle and takes care of us in return.

· The Watering May Look Different: The way God chooses to "water" you may not be in the same form you gave. The one who gives a cup of cold water may receive peace. The one who encourages may receive strength in their own hour of need. God knows what refreshment you need most.

A Prayer to Be a Blessing

Lord God, the source of all living water,

Make me a conduit of Your grace today. Show me who needs a word of encouragement, a act of kindness, or a prayer of faith.

Help me to water others freely and generously, not seeking anything in return, but trusting in Your faithful promise.

When I feel dry and in need of watering myself, remind me of this truth: that as I pour out for others, You are the one who will replenish my soul, refresh my spirit, and meet my every need.

Make me a blessing, so that I may be blessed, and in all things, may You receive the glory.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Go forth today looking for someone to "water." Be a source of life, and trust the Divine Gardener to tend to your own soul.
