Empty Vessels

2 Kings 4:3-4
"Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full."
Here we see a powerful illustration of what is meant here:
Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
And again here:
Matthew 10:39 "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."
Using human reasoning and logic, the widow would have been quite justified in making sure not one drop of oil left her pot. After all, it was all she had left. Pouring it out would be foolish. Yet we know that man's "wisdom" is foolishness compared to God's true wisdom. And more often than not, the two are diametrically opposed.
Only by pouring out and emptying all that was "hers" could the widow's giving be returned. So often we collect what we have and guard it ferociously, all the while calling our selfishness "good stewardship". God seeks to reward generosity. But He so seldom finds it. Give, and it will be given. It makes no sense to the world, it's an utter impossibility. Yet with God all things are possible.
Would I be willing to pour out my final possession? Do I give generously out of love and gratitude?
