Giving Giving is, among other things, an exercise in turning loose of what we have in our little "kingdom" to enter into the amazing reciprocity that God has built into the human heart. "Give," Jesus said, "and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back" (Luke 6:38). Note that it "will be given" to you—others around you will give to you. Generosity is what people are made for. They would love to be generous—if only they thought they could. Of course, they will rarely know they actually can unless they are experiencing life in the kingdom of God. Generosity is one essential dimension of love, and there is ample provision for it. Start being generous with what you have and it will grow. From Knowing Christ Today: Why We Can Trust Spiritual Knowledge. Copyright © 2009 by Dallas Willard. All rights reserved.
