Generous giving returns to you overflowing

Generosity is not a zero-sum equation; Scripture teaches that the measure one uses will be the measure used back, and God’s blessing pours out in abundance when hearts are obedient to give. This overflow is described as good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over—an image that invites trust that God multiplies what is surrendered to him. Practicing generous giving becomes a spiritual habit that demonstrates reliance on God as provider and participates in the wider work of his kingdom.

Luke 6:38 (ESV)
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.
What would a single week of intentionally generous giving look like for you (specific amount of money, time, or service); decide that one act and note how you will observe God’s response without demanding a specific outcome.
