Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

I remember baking cookies with my mom when I was just old enough to understand how to use a measuring cup. My favorite part was always measuring the brown sugar. You could keep adding more and squishing it down, until it was totally compacted. When I read this verse, I always think of brown sugar. Our day is like the measuring cup- 24 hours. What we have to give is the brown sugar. One scoop, and it appears full- but if we press it down, much more can be added! I am not saying our days need to be full of activity. But our days do need to include time with Him! Are we cutting God out of our "busy" schedules? How much blessing will we recieve...? If we offer Him our prime time, (when we are at our best) He returns the favor!

Lord, I don't want to miss out on Your best! Please, give me wisdon to eliminate the time-wasting activities from my life. I don't ever want to give "just-enough". You went above and beyond for me- help me to give my all for You! Thank You for all the blessings You've poured into my life. By Your spirit, give me strength to bless You! amen
