38 Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you."
This verse brings tears to my eyes.
I remember loading buckets with feed for my sheep. I would measure carefully, but then I would shake, and press, and put the last scoop in with the bucket over the feed barrel so the overflow would fall back into the barrel.
It was because I wanted to get as much as possible into the bucket -- as MUCH as I could give.
So much does God love us.
INDEED.
Including the worst of us.
And more; infinitely more.
