“He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” PROVERBS 11:25 (NIV)
It pays to give.
There is a universal principle at work called "the law of sowing and reaping," and it is a spiritual reality.
"Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously" (2 Corinthians 9:6 NIV).
When God sees generosity that flows from us to others, whether it be in time or money or love, he takes pleasure in us. In a generous heart God finds a portrait of himself. When we give like God gives, we become a reflection of his bountiful love for all of us. God rewards us as we give freely by freely giving back to each of us more than we could imagine.
Here's what this Scriptural promise means to me:
You want to be blessed? Bless others. You want to be greatly blessed? Bless others richly!
You want to be loved? Love. You want to be deeply loved? Love a lot!
You want to be prosperous? Give. You want to be very, very prosperous? Give a lot!
Remember this: "Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously." It's a fact of life. It's the truth. It pays to give.
What did you hear?

What will you do?
Now talk to God…
