Giving is the Way

Giving is the Way

Today's Scripture

�Be easy on people; you'll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back�given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity" (Luke 6:38 Message).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

God has set up a system to bless you abundantly. He loves you and longs to pour out His favor upon you and increase your resources. In the natural, it�s easy to think that the way to increase is to keep what you have, but in God�s system, it isn�t about what you keep, it�s about what you give. We read about the example that God set for us in John 3:16: �For God so loved the world that He gave�� He gave His Son and received many sons and daughters as a result!

When we love others and give out of the overflow of our hearts, God promises that He will repay us; and Luke 6:38 in the Message Bible tells us that He�ll repay us with bonus and blessing! You may not think you have that much to give, but ask the Lord to show you how you can be a blessing to the people around you. As you give of yourself, your time and resources, you�ll see God giving back to you. You�ll see His hand of blessing and provision, and you will live the abundant life He has in store for you! 

A Prayer for Today
