You Can't Out Give God
Most items we purchase have a guaranteed weight. Breakfast cereals, canned vegetables, fresh fruit, and even toothpaste are sold by their weight. But centuries ago, it used to be the opposite. Items like grain were bought and sold by volume, determined by the basket or container. Usually the seller would make sure the buyer received the full value, and sometimes even more, by shaking, pressing down, and adding more to the container.
We can apply a similar principle to our thinking around generosity. When we share more of our time, effort, energy, and resources with others, we are usually the ones who benefit. The Bible encourages us to live selflessly, generously, and with open hands. When we choose to live in this way, we will find even more meaningful returns on those investments. Those are the things which truly matter.
God can take a little and use it to do incredible things. That's how God works. This is how to multiply.
