Read 2 Corinthians 7-9
2 Corinthians 9:6 says, "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." Investors tells to diversify our investments and not to pin our hopes on just one account in case it takes a downturn. Specialty store owners never offer just one thing for sale, no matter how specialized they are. Even clothing will have the same item in different colors and sizes.
We learn to be kind to everyone, not just the people closest to us. We reach out to all our neighbors, not just the one on the other side of our fence. We interact with all our coworkers, not just the one who sits next to us. Even when we buy servings made just for one, we tend to buy more than one of them.
The Lord knows that it’s best for us to spread a wide net, to be inclusive, to sow bountifully. When we concentrate on just one thing, we are too devastated if that one thing fails or disappoints us or leaves us. But our lives are richer when we open our arms wide.
