Bringing in the harvest…
Give More, Recieve More
Unto those that hath shall be given, and
they shall have abundance: but from those that hath not
shall be taken away even that which they
have.
-The Gospel according to Saint Matthew
This is a strange
paradox, a little-known secret. Jesus isn’t speaking
of
worldly goods. He is speaking of a very rare kind of
treasure: the more you draw on it, the more you will have.
The more patient you are with people, for instance, the
more
patience you will have. The more generous you are today,
the
more generosity you will have tomorrow. The more love you
give, the more loving you become.
The
principle can be stated in the plainest of terms: if you
are
selfish with your love, the scant security you cling to
will
be battered by life. But if you give of yourself freely,
your security will be unshakable. Your joy will be
limitless. You will always have more to give.
