*****Luke 6:38~~Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.******
What an amazing thought!! I have heard this verse preached in conjunction with Malachi 3:10 on several occasions, but tonight the Holy Spirit showed me something :) This verse applies to much more than tithing and giving of offerings!!! It applies to all of life :) To how we treat others. To how we deal with situations in our relationships with our family and friends, our businesses.
Malachi 3:10 talks about God opening the windows of Heaven and pouring out the blessings. Luke 6:38 talks about man pouring out, shaking together, pressing down. How are we treating those we deal with on a daily basis...our family, our spouses, our children, our friends our co-workers, our fellow church members? Are we meteing out Kindness? Mercy? Forgivenss? Understanding? Compassion? Love? Help? The list could go on. What about those people God puts in our path and we hear the Holy Spirit telling us to go...are we listening??
How much more like Jesus would we be if we just took this one verse literally?? If we all actually believed it in our hearts rather than just in our minds? Can you imagine what a difference one person could make...what a difference you could make...what a difference I could make?
Give kindness~receive kindness...Give mercy~receive a thankful heart...Give love~receive love...why don't we start today shall we :)
