Luke 6:38 is a wonderful and very powerful statement!
38 Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.
In the things of God, we ALWAYS have to move toward HIM first! He has already set us up for blessing and abundance, but the CHOICE is ours to move toward Him or not! John 10:10 shows us HIS will concerning our life here on earth:
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
Abundance is HIS will for HIS people! Luke 6:38 above shows how to get ourselves in position to receive it! 3 John 2 tells us this:
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
Settle it in your heart forever that God is an extraordinarily GOOD GOD! Find out what HE has provided for us in His Word, and then dare to believe and receive it all! We are BLESSED to BE a BLESSING, and to 'show and tell' HIS mighty works so that the people that HE so dearly loves will come to HIM! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Who You Say I Am":
Shalom in Him!
