Sam Reeve was so poor that the first time he ever wore a suit was the day he graduated from high school, and the suit was given to him by a neighbour.Oneday, he read this passage in the Bible ” Give, and it will 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 ‘.
Sam decided to predicate his life on this and eventually became an outstandingly successful small businessman. He was invited to a White House conference of small businessmen who had done distinguished jobs. The president asked him , ” Sam how did you do it ? ”
Sam thought a moment and then answered, ” I just tried to give away more than my competitors. I try to find my pleasure in giving ‘ he said, ‘ and let the getting part take care of itself ‘.
We tell you, if you really believe in God, you’ve got- to believe in this. If you want a life full of blessings, a life out of poverty, a life victorious over difficulties, if you want things to flow your way, you practice that.
