Because he gives with no thought of reward and no other
motive than love, he is thrown more completely into the
inevitable operation of the law and his return is all the
more certain. He is inevitably enriched and cannot escape
it. Jesus said, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good
measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over." He
was not merely making a promise but stating a law that
never fails to function.
So inexhaustible is the bounty of the Giver of all good
that to him who has eyes to see it and faith to receive it
God is an unfailing source of supply. The munificent Giver
withholds nothing from him who comes in the name of a son
and heir and lays claim to his portion. It is the Father's
good pleasure to give us the kingdom, and all that the
Father has is ours. But we must have the faith and the
courage to claim it.
Men who accomplish great things in the industrial world are
the ones who have faith in the money-producing power of
their ideas. Those who would accomplish great things in the
demonstration of spiritual resources must have faith to lay
hold of the divine ideas and the courage to speak them into
expression. The conception must be followed by the
affirmation that the law is instantly fulfilled. Then the
supply will follow in manifestation.
