<strong>Attack</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Lack</strong><br />
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 />
