Want to know the best kept secret to always having more than enough?

Want to know the best kept secret to always having more than enough?
This wasn't shared with me in high school, college or through decades in the corporate world.
My brother shared it with me when I was almost penniless and up to my neck in debt, and it changed my life forever.
"Give, privately and with a joyful heart, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your lap. For with the same measure that you measure it shall be measured to you again."
Give your money.
Give your time.
Give your affection.
Give of yourself.
Sacrifice, of whatever you have. Your sacrifice is like a seed, and when planted in the kingdom of God, it will multiply and reap a great harvest; to you personally and in ways unfathomable.

“Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, to be honored by men.
I tell you the truth, if you do, you have received their reward in full.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
