Just Because

"Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom." (Luke 6: 38)

"Be not weary in well-doing, for in due season, in God's time, you shall reap"   Ga 6:9.
The verse means: "Show hospitality, even though the corresponding return of hospitality to you may seem improbable; nevertheless, be hospitable in faith."...barnes notes

We have reason to expect evil, for we are born to trouble; it is wisdom to do good in the day of matthew henry commentary... Riches cannot profit us, if we do not benefit others. Every man must labour to be a blessing to that place where the providence of God casts him....

After all it is written: HE WHO IS KIND TO THE POOR LENDS TO THE LORD, AND HE WILL REWARD HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE. PROVERBS 19:17   This is because, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE POOR PEOPLE IN THE LAND. THEREFORE I COMMAND YOU TO BE OPENHANDED TOWARD YOUR BROTHERS AND TOWARD THE POOR AND NEEDY IN YOUR LAND. DEUTERONOMY 15:11

 throwing bread on water seems careless and wasteful and that’s how open I felt God wanted us to be with our giving – whether we could see what it did or not – giving to “whoever asks”
 
The Gaither Vocal Band says it so well.......


And there are people who think they´re not receveing
Anything from God at all
Oh, They are shaken from their beliving
When they don´t see results they quickly fall

But don´t you waver and keep on living
In the way God wants you to
Don´t get discouraged and keep on giving
Soon it will come back to you

Keep on casting
Your bread upon the water
Soon it´s gonna come back home on everyway
Keep on casting
Your bread upon the water
Soon it´s gonna come back home on everyway

Good measure pressed down shaken together running over
Soon it´s gonna come back home on everyway

Oh, Keep on working seeking the kingdom
Instead of working for your needs
Just keep on sharing the love of Jesus
You know, growing comes from clemensies



2 Corinthians 9:7-12...7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful(hilarious) giver.8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever."10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
