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 back to you.” (Luke 6:38)
Jesus is asking us to be be generous.
Right before this verse Jesus speaks about being loving to your enemies and blessing those that curse you.
He speaks about doing unto others what you would have them do to you.
He speaks about being merciful and forgiving.
Trust that God has unlimited resources.
Be generous with love, blessings, being merciful and forgiveness.
God promises to give back what you have given. ~ Jeff M Newman
