The story is told of a farmer who was known for his generous giving & whose friends could not understand how he could give so much & yet remain so prosperous.
One day a spokesman for his friends said: “We cannot
understand you. You give far more than any of the rest of us & yet you
always seem to have more to give.”
“Oh, that is easy to explain,” the farmer said. “I keep
shoveling into God's bin & God keeps shoveling back into mine & God has
the bigger shovel.”
- Dr. Herbert Lockyer (moreillustrations.com)
Luke 6:38 (ERV): “Give to others, and you will receive. You
will be given much. It will be poured into your hands - more than you can hold.
You will be given so much that it will spill into your lap. The way you give to
others is the way God will give to you.”
“God has a way of giving by the cartloads to those who give
away by shovelfuls.” - Charles Spurgeon.
