Karma

Alma 41:15 For that which ye do send out shall return unto you again, and be restored; therefore, the word restoration more fully condemneth the sinner, and justifieth him not at all.

Apparently, karma is a real thing. I thought the idea of karma was hollow and unrealistic. We don't always reap what we sow, do we? There are plenty of times when people create consequences for other people and don't experience the results of their actions themselves, and that's true for both good actions/consequences and bad actions/consequences. At least, it's true in this life.

Fortunately for those seeking karmic justice, this life isn't all there is, and the final judgement, with all it's justice, will, through the power of the Atonement, justify everything that happens in life. If a person doesn't get karmic justice in this life, they'll get it in the next. We do, in fact, reap what we sow, sooner or later.

The existence of karma encourages me to sow good things so I can reap them later, confident in the knowledge that I will eventually taste the fruit of my labors. Every action has consequences, and we will face to consequences of those actions, whether they're good or bad. So, let's try to put more good out into the world. It's good for others, and sooner or later, it will come back to us as well. Alma made it clear that if we want good rewards, we need to do good and be good ourselves, so let's do that. Let's do good and make karma work in our favor.
