How Agape Love Flows
 
Luke 6:38 (MSG) Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity.
 
Look at it this way. Jesus tells us to be open-handed and generous with His Father’s resources. In other words – we’re not to be ‘stingy with what doesn’t belong to us in the first place!’ Everything about us – our life, breath, health, capacity of intellect and ignorance, our material possessions, our much and our little – all of it - and all of us - are God’s property. When we give of ourselves in love and of what we have to share (and yes, we can still share even if what we have is little) we open fertile channels of Heavenly blessings that do more than meet needs. Generous giving activates a host of good things that are drawn to our lives in the timeliness of God’s consent. Our love and generosity towards others begets an overflow of abundant love towards all of us from God. That’s how agape love flows.
