even got that soda pop and bit of candy now and<br />

again.<br />

And when we bought those things, that<br />

helped other people in our town. They could eat<br />

and use part of our harvest.<br />

The harvest helped ME... and it helped<br />

OTHERS. It was a dual harvest.<br />

The same is true in the spiritual. <strong>Your</strong> giving<br />

creates a harvest for you. It creates a harvest for<br />

others.<br />

The Double-Release<br />

When I saw that dual harvest, I began to get<br />

into the habit of a double-release. First, I released<br />

my tithes and offerings as seed; second, I released<br />

my faith to God, believing He would multiply my<br />

seed sown into harvests for others AND for ME to<br />

receive back for MY greater needs. I wrapped my<br />

SEED with my FAITH. Today I call it SEED-FAITH.<br />

How happy I've been in my giving since! I<br />

know now that receiving follows my giving. I will<br />

have joy in receiving which in turn gives me joy in<br />

my giving and brings me into a more special<br />

relationship with God. I know what He means<br />

when He says, "God loves a cheerful giver" (2<br />

Corinthians 9:7).<br />
