:** A Good Measure **: (872 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 Others,

Including To Those We Are Prone To Judge And Condemn.

He Even 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 Know 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?

{ Luke 6:38 }
