Luke 6:37-38 (Amplified Bible)
37. Judge not [neither pronouncing judgment nor subjecting to censure], and you will not be judged; do not condemn and pronounce guilty, and you will not be condemned and pronounced guilty; acquit and forgive and [a]release (give up resentment, let it drop), and you will be acquitted and forgiven and [b]released.
38Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour [c]into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.

How are you measuring circumstances in your life today? As we see in this passage in Luke the scales you use to measure with will be used to measure your life as well. Show mercy on someone you normally judge harshly. Forgive that person in your life that you have not forgiven so you can be forgiven. Do not condemn because the Lord has not condemned you, He has given you life through Jesus Christ. If you are a stingy giver the Lord has no choice but to use that same measuring stick on you. Therefore live life to its fullest; be merciful, forgiving, friendly, truthful, loving, and generous in your giving.
Be a Blessing!
