H.U.M.P. Day!

What is a good measure?  How many is it?  How much does it weigh?  It's hard to determine what a good measure is these days because we all need a little bit of this and a whole lot of that.  So what quantity do we ask God for?

Man's measurements are determined by what is "needed" to fill a void.  For example, six feet of something may be needed here, or three inches of something there.  A fixed dollar amount may be needed here, or so many ounces of a liquid there.  Moreover, there HAS to be a void in order to activate the measure.  In contrast, God's measure is determined by what "seed" has been sown.  God sends His good measure into activation when something is given, not lacked.  Jesus said in 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".  Jesus didn't say our good measure would be predicated upon what we lacked, He said it'd predicated upon what we gave.  John 3:16 says For God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son.  Did He not reap millions of devoted sons and daughters because of His seed?  If it worked for Him....it'll certainly work for you.  Now get out there and share the love of Jesus.  You want your good measure? Give....Happy H.U.M.P. Day!
