For with the measure you use!

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. - Luke 6:38

Weekly Thought
There's a principle in life that seems oxymoronic at first glance: we get what we give. But a second look shows the wisdom of the principle. When we bless others, we are blessed; when we love, we are loved; when we giveeven in the midst of our own needswe greatly receive. It's possible to give beyond our resources and find ourselves burned out and broke. But over time, if we're willing to give, we'll receive a lot more in return.

Gratitude unlocks the doors of generosity. Even if you're in need, gratitude helps you give to others sacrificially, just like the poor widow Jesus praised (Mark 12:41-44). Do your own soul a favor by sharing generously from the abundance of your life. You'll be grateful you did!

Father, show me where I can give today and help me to do so out of gratitude. Amen.
