“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over…” – Luke 6:38 (KJV)

I once watched my Grandpa fill a sack of shelled peas for a neighbor. He didn’t just scoop them in half-hearted—no sir. He pressed ’em down, gave that bag a good shake, and kept on adding until it spilled over the top. Then he smiled and said, “That’s how you give—to bless, not just to be done.”

That’s what Jesus was talking about.

You see, the Kingdom economy doesn’t work like Wall Street. It isn’t about hoarding and holding—it’s about giving and trusting. When you give love, give time, give forgiveness, give encouragement—He gives it back in ways that overflow. Not because you earned it, but because He honors it.

Pressed down… shaken together… running over.

So today, don’t give to get. Give because you get to. Pour out that kindness. Bless somebody who can’t pay you back. Be generous with your words, your smile, your mercy. Because God’s got a way of giving it back that’ll fill you up more than you ever thought possible.

Give big… and watch God go bigger.
