That's so simple. It operates on the premise of a wonderful verse in the bible --- 'whatsoever you shall sow, so shall you reap'. And sometimes it can come back to you with even so much more. Because God loves a giver..... a cheerful giver.
The reason why we don't usually have our expectations met is because we fail to operate on that divine rule. We set down such high expectations from people, from things, from life. But what do we do to insure that we receive it in the measure we expect? How are we also ever to receive anything at all if we have our palms and hearts closed? Nothing can grow out of nothing. Only a miracle but that is not the point of this post.
Everything comes from a seed. And this can be an idea -- a course of action -- a thoughtful gesture -- a compassionate display of care -- a good grasp of genuine insight and understanding towards others -- a belief that is held strongly when others try to bring it down -- and others more. These are the seeds which we are supposed to plant in our daily mundane lives.. in our relationships... in our social structures.. in governance.. in ministering to others.. in our homes and neighborhoods... even to our self.
Plant the seed and allow God to do the rest. And He will! When He does, you will see blessings pour out in the same measure of your planting.... and sometimes even so much more. All because you have pleased and delighted your Heavenly Father who always loves a giver.... a sincere serious giver who simply and humbly understands what true giving means.
After all HE started it all..... GAVE His only SON for our sakes.
Blessings to you and your day.
