One of the most basic and important laws of life: You tend to get back what you give out.
It is one of the most basic and important laws of life: You tend to get back what you give out. If what you give out is arrogance, impatience, fire, thunder, lightening, arrows, and bullets that is what you will get back. On the other hand if what you give out is kindness, patience, humility, peaceableness, decency, and understanding that is what you will get back. We reap what we sow. Sow goodness and get back goodness. Sow evil and get back evil. If we give out malice, anger, hatred, argument, strife, and rashness we tend to get back in kind.
Understanding and applying this most important fact of life is one of the most important secrets to a happy marriage. Marriage partners tend to get back what they give out. Wise men understand this and that is why wise people tend to have happy marriages and foolish people tend to have unhappy marriages.
Jesus taught the importance of kindness, humility, goodness, self-denial, decency, forgiveness, compassion, and peaceableness. Listen to Jesus. Consume his teachings. There is deep wisdom and understanding in his words.
Luke 6:36-38 "Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also
is merciful. {37} "Judge not, and you shall not be judged.
Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you
will be forgiven. {38} "Give, and it will be given to you: good
measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will
be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you
mete, it will be dealt back to you."
