Now more than ever, the mantra of the day has been to go and 'get yours!' It's an 'Empire' type of society where life is all about making dreams come true. And dreams are real, they are precious and are worth struggling for!
Yet, when one is making the hustle happen, how often does it feel just thisshort of fulfillment? Maybe because you think it's all about you. There are some realities that everyone must grapple with as they begin pursuit of their dreams. The biggest one is that goals for material and wealth possessions are fleeting. It's true; all it takes is one bad investment mistake, natural disaster and greed on the part of another, that can send one plummeting back down to the financial status they formally possessed leaving them financially destitute!
We've seen it happen before!
God has a financial plan that surpasses any that man can think of, that is really quite simple: give!
Give! Straight out of the mouth of Jesus, the text of Luke 6:38, is surrounded by Jesus' words to us about how we treat others! What we do, judging, forgiving, and giving has a direct impact on what happens to us! Believe it!
What we get is related to what we give because we do not live in this world unto ourselves, and our very existence is not grounded in our selfish desires to just get and acquire.
When you are the Creator, you are the master of your created work! That means you can produce what can help others, because it's all yours anyway. We were made to be a blessing to others, not to just reap blessings of our own. That would be God's viewpoint, but God has made life for us so that as we struggle to give to others outwardly, there is a continued divine flow that comes back, often that surpasses what you originally put out. It's all determined by the measure you use! Little outflow, little inflow. Generous outflow-generous inflow!

That's God financial plan and how well we do, is determined by our heart and attitude in giving!
It's a decision everyone has to make; there is no guarantee that the wealth you receive will be monetary, but the rewards are always great! Ever wonder how some giving people are able to maintain their health? How those same people have great families and children who are doing the right thing? How those giving people are successful in their business and keep moving up in their careers-which in turn produces the wealth and success you are looking for? Start giving!
Give to your church, charitable organizations, give your time and volunteer! Give of your talent get on the board of directors of a worthwhile organization! Give, with the right attitude, to be a blessing to someone else and watch the wealth increase and flow in your direction. If only more of us had an attitude of 'Let's get ours" instead of a me, myself, and I mentality, how much more wealthy the world would be!
