Short Thought #10: Give

We are to give. Luke 6:38 "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." And don't be confused. God isn't telling you to give because He needs your money, no! It's His money really to begin with; but it is used as a measure of your faith in Him. When you sacrifice what is sacred to you and give, it shows God that you have faith and trust in Him and that you believe His Word. And actions speak louder than words; John 14:23"If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching." You want God move? Then give! In God’s Kingdom you have to give to get. Think about it. God didn't get you for free; He had to pay the ultimate price for you, His Son. So why on Earth do you think you should get all of God and all that God has for you at no cost at all? So give and have faith! God will make sure you receive a return. His Word is true. And when you receive that return you will be glad that you gave. Believe and trust in Him!
