Luke 6:38

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom.  For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.  

We all want to be blessed in this life, but sometimes we forget that we have to be a blessing first. Doing good to others just doesn’t benefit them but ourselves as well.  Giving keeps us from getting selfish and greedy, which is why God wants us to give.  When we find ourselves feeling a lack in our lives take inventory and see how much we have been giving.
