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. A lady came to her pastor and asked him why she was always helping people as well as helping around the church, but was continually having a financial need. The pastor asked her: "Do people help you?" She immediately replied "yes." He asked her if people smiled at her when she smiled at them. She immediately replied yes. The pastor’s reply was: "You are reaping what you are sowing. When you smile at someone, they will smile back at you. You do good things for others, and you are reaping the same kind of harvest." He told her to start planting in a financial way, and she would see a different type of harvest.
