Your gift will return to you in fullâpressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.â Luke 6:38 (NLT) When you give from a heart for Jesus, your goal isnât to get a blessing. But the truth is that God will bless you. You canât out-give God. When you learn to be generous like God is generous, he promises that you will end up with more. This is Godâs economy. Sometimes it seems like God is saying: “Let’s see who can out-give the other. You give to me and to other people, and I’ll give to youâand we’ll see who wins.” And God always wins! He says over and over in Scripture that you will end up with more if you learn to be generous. Sometimes those blessings will be material. But sometimes theyâll be the spiritual blessings that come from a generous heart. Jesus says, âGive, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in fullâpressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get backâ (Luke 6:38 NLT). What is Jesus saying here? Imagine youâre going to a market to buy grain. You bring a burlap sack and pay to have the whole sack filled. As the shop owner is pouring grain, you press it into your sack. Then you gently shake the sack so the grain settles down even more. You want to fit the maximum amount of grain. Jesus is saying that Godâs blessings are the same. When you give generously, heâll give so generously that youâll have to make room for more. He gives in full measureâand then someâwhen you learn to be generous like him. The way you give to others is the way God will give to you. He wants you to be generous because he wants you to be like him. You canât become more like Christ without learning to give generously. This is one of the most important decisions you will make: Is your life going to be about giving away what God has blessed you with? Will it be marked by a joyous desire to grab hold of Godâs promises as you let go of the things of this earth? âThe amount you give will determine the amount you get back.â You determine how much God blesses your life.
