By what measure you...

There are those who strictly pay tithe because their God is a God of percentages. They pay God one tenth of their dubious worth. They pay with their weariness; they give their 'woe-is-me' kind of piety. What have they reserved in heaven? One tenth of heaven. Nothing more nothing less.
They have also earned hell for the remaining. God stands in debt to none.
Fine state of giving!
Why not give if you know Him by sight with all your heart and mind?
Why not give him for the very joy of giving? The least you can do as a human being is to give your joy: joy that is your heart in full flow. Nothing is held back and nothing is expected in return.
In that full flow no hell can stand. Whatever is of heaven's glory stand reflected on that smooth, crystal clear expression of joy between human beings.
Vain dream is it not? If there was joy on earth do you think Jerusalem would be as dismal as present?
