THE SAME MEASURE!


6-30-2010. . . .THE SAME MEASURE!
"But remember this-if you give little, you will get little. A farmer who plants just a few seeds will get only a small crop, but if he plants much, he will reap much.  Everyone must make up his own mind as to how much he should give. Don't force anyone to give more than he really wants to, for cheerful givers are the ones God prizes." (2 Cor 9:6-8 TLB)  God loves a cheerful giver; one that understands the blessedness in giving.  Not out of obligation, but out of genuine compassion.   What one gives is what one will get; and how one gives is equally as important.  So, give cheerfully and give bountifully.  It will be given to you in the same measure! 

Prayer: Lord, glad and freely you have given us everything that pertains to life and Godliness!  Helps us to have the same spirit when given to others.  Amen!

2 Cor 9:6-7. . . .Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.   Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. NIV
