GIVING
"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."
Luke, 6:38
This karmic concept works in the forgiveness realm also- the more you forgive the more God Forgives you. The more you praise, the more you are praised. The more you love, the more you are loved. The more you give, the more you get.
Do for others what you would have done to you. Because that is how it works. If you want a car, help someone else find one or finance one. You want a house, save someone else from foreclosure. You want a bigger paycheck-give someone else a job.
Things happen in the spiritual world manifested as a boomerang reflection of what we do in the material world.
We all know people who can't stop complaining about what they don't have and what they cannot do as a result. Aside from being incredibly annoying to any and everyone who has to hear it all the time, this is self-defeating trash-talk that imprisons them in their own lack. Because if they instead praised God for the unbelievable generosity, greatness and magnitude of his goodness he would give them far more abundantly over and beyond what they could dream or imagine. Because he is GOD. The earth and everything in it is His.
You cannot outgive God. You cannot be more generous than the One who sent his only son to die on a cross to save humanity from their own sin. You cannot do anything to defeat his generosity because it is his nature. And even when we are not faithful- He Is. It's the Ontological nature of God that you cannot change- so why trash talk down his creations? Could there be anything more self-defeating?
Give and it will be given to you. You cannot pour anything in a clenched fist.
