:~ A Good Measure ~: (375 hits)

Any Cook Worth Her Whisk

Knows That A Lot More Flour

Can Be Squeezed Into A Cup

If It Is Pressed Down, Shaken

Around And Heaped Over The

Top.



That’s The Kind Of Measure

God Uses When He Gives Back

To Us After We’ve Given

Generously To Other, Including

Those We Are Prone To Judge

And Condemn.



He Ever Promises To Pour Out

Enough So That It Will Spill Into

Our Laps.



Now, If You Were shopping In

A Street Market In Old Galilee,

Would You Go To The Vendor

Who Had A Cup With A False

Bottom So He Or She Could

Give You Less Than You Asked

For?



Or Would You Go To The

Vendor You Knew Would

Press, Shake, Heap And Pour

On Some More?



Ask God If You’ve Dealt With

Anyone Lately Out Of A Stingy

Heart.

How Can You Instead Be

Generous Beyond Expectation?
