To love is to release God's unlimited storehouse of golden treasure. If we love we cannot help giving, and to give is to gain, and the law of love is fulfilled. Then by giving, we set in operation the unfailing law of measure for measure. With no thought of receiving, it is impossible to avoid receiving, for the abundance you have given is returned to you in fulfillment of the law, "Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together; and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete, withal, it shall be measured to you again."
