Give, and It Will Be Given to You

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back. Luke 6:38

God has given us enough that we can give to others. Whatever we have, it is more than enough to sustain not only ourselves as individuals but also those around us. This is not obvious, unless one makes the leap of faith. If you don't believe me, just try it today and see. It has worked for me over and over throughout my life, and the same principles will apply to yours. It may not look on the surface that you have one crumb to give away. But you do if you look at it the right way. Give your time, or strength, or love, or goods, or money, or kindness, or whatever it is you do have. Give it away with joy and love in your heart and it will return to you overflowing, and then give it away again. It will return again, over and over.

Remember the loaves and the fishes. It works every time...
