Give to Get!

6-30-2009. . . . .Give to Get!

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” ( Luke 6:38 KJV) An open and extended hand can fulfill a dual purpose. . . .giving and receiving. The principle espoused by Jesus in St. Luke 6 teaches that one actually facilitates the other. ‘Giving’ opens the door to receiving! This is not just exclusive to finances! Give love. . . get love. . . .kindness. . . .get kindness. . . .friendliness. . . get friendliness! What you send out is what comes back to you. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Gal 6:7 KJV) If you are not please with what you have been receiving, take a moment and examine what you have been giving! You could very well be receiving the returns of what you have been sending out. Want to receive something different. . . .try giving something different first; then, watch the principle work for you!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for being our example for giving! Help me to be a giver who receives and not a receiver who gives. Amen!

Gal 6:9-10. . . .And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. KJV
