Expand Your Capacity for God’s Abundance

t’s easy to want the abundant grace of God pouring into our lives, but here’s the question: how do we create more capacity for that blessing? The answer might surprise you.

In Luke 6:37-38, Jesus teaches a profound principle:

"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you." (Luke 6:37–38, ESV)

When we choose to give grace, we expand our capacity to receive grace. It’s not about waiting to be filled before we give — Jesus says that as we pour out grace, God begins to pour back into us. And He doesn’t just fill the container of our hearts; He presses, shakes, and overflows His blessings into every corner of our lives.

So, how do we create that space for abundance?

1. Fix Your Eyes on the Cross. The cross is the ultimate reminder of God’s grace toward us. When we meditate on Christ’s sacrifice, we are humbled and reminded of how much grace we’ve received — and how freely we should give it to others.

2. Forgive as You Have Been Forgiven. Jesus said, “Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Forgiveness isn’t optional for a follower of Christ; it’s foundational. The more we practice forgiving others, the more our hearts are stretched to hold the grace God wants to pour in.

3. Be Clothed in Humility. True humility comes when we stop fixating on others' faults and start allowing God to work on our own hearts first. As we embrace the mind of Christ, counting others as more significant than ourselves, we find that God lifts us up and fills us with His presence.

4. Give Grace Lavishly. Give grace to the undeserving, to those who hurt you, to the ones who are difficult to love. This is the kingdom principle: as you give, your capacity for grace grows, and God abundantly fills that expanded space.

A Simple Prayer for Today: Lord, heal me of the pride of unforgiveness. Remove a critical spirit from within me. Set my eyes upon the cross so that I might become unoffendable. Make me a vessel and outpouring of your grace and love. As I pour it out, give me the capacity for more, and pour out your blessing abundantly in my life.
