Good Measure

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Good Measure.” Remi Oyedele wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Luke 6:32–38 with the key verse, “Give, and it will be given to you.”, Luke 6:38. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ, all that I write, I first pray to God to guide my words so that it will serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of wiring. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

Before I became a Christian, giving and not expecting anything back was out of the question. I did not give unless I got something in return. I turned away people who needed money just go get something to eat. In my darken heart, I was very suspicious without any reason.

As a Christian, I know this is wrong. In our family we make it a rule to be generous with our resources. We have a saying, “When the train comes, everybody rides.” I can tell you that your generosity is returned to you in the measure that is greater.

We do not give to get things; we give because God delights in our generosity. Our love for others reflects His loving heart toward us.

Reflect:

In what ways have you experienced God’s generosity in your life? How can you extend generosity to others?

Prayer:

Gracious Father help me to give generously to others because You’ve been so generous to me.

May God bless and help you to give more generously to others as He has been so generous to you.
