Diligence in Giving

Luke 6:38 (KJV)
Give and it shall be given unto u; good measure,pressed down,and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete within it shall be measured to you again.

*In order to receive, you must open your hand and be able to give. An occupied space is unable to receive if there is no room provided by the recipient. However, notice that there is an emphasis not just on giving, but the measure of your giving. This often refers to how u give and the consistency of your giving. If u give sparingly, then u will only receive sparingly(2 Corinthians 9:6). If u give something with a grudge, then others may hold the same temperamental grudge with u when u ask for something. If u only contact ppl when u need something, then guess when u will be contacted? If u never pay your tithes to help God's house, how can u expect to receive help in your time of need? Your pockets are cursed when u know better and refuse to do better (Malachi 3:8-9). However, if u do the opposite of these things, u will always receive assistance and it will run over bc of your diligence. Remember, the average person loves to withdraw from ppl, but never make a deposit. This doesn't necessarily include money, but your time, how u treat others, your faithfulness to God, and other behaviors that u may lack in or do not contribute to...particularly through love. Be above average! Remember, if u keep taking from the well and never replenish, it will run dry. However, if u deposit into someone's love bank, spiritual heart, have financial accountability, and obedience to God in general when it comes to giving, then an overflow will always come your way...Don't be used, be led; don't be stingy, but be open to possibilities and all God has in store...
