the measure with which you measure

“For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.” (LK 6: 38) 

The free, creative, and joyful gift of self is always a challenge, but there is no other way if we really want to enjoy our relationship. Whatever we invest, based on our extreme ownership, we will receive back: “for the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.” My gift of self is not a reward for a nice behavior, but is an unconditional gift, and because it is unconditional, it has such an amazing reward. 

“Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
