"The best way to keep what you have is to hold onto it tightly and never give it away. After all, giving only depletes what you've worked so hard to accumulate."
But what if there's a different perspective, one that challenges this conventional wisdom?
In Luke 6:38, it says: "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
If you are kind and generous to others, you will receive kindness and generosity in return. The more you give the more good things will come back to you, like filling a cup so full that it overflows.
