Proverbs 11:25 · World English Bible
The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
A mind that pours out blessing is not depleted by it but filled, because in the giving it remembers what it is. To bless another is to see him as innocent, and that same sight returns to rest on the one who offered it, for no mind can hold another in light and stand in darkness itself.

CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY
A mind that pours out blessing is not depleted by it but filled, because in the giving it remembers what it is. To bless another is to see him as innocent, and that same sight returns to rest on the one who offered it, for no mind can hold another in light and stand in darkness itself. This is not reward for generosity. It is the simple law that the perception a mind extends is the perception it lives inside, so the one who waters is standing in the very stream he sends.
What is given in love is never lost. It circles back and finds the giver already inside its blessing.
Watereth: the mind that extends love and healing to another, and by that very reaching is renewed at its own root.

SELF-HELP
The supply a generous person lives on is produced by the giving itself, never handed back afterward as payment.
Watering another life occupies the attention scarcity needs to stay alive, and the state changes the moment that attention is busy elsewhere. An abundant state produces generous action, generous action builds people who show up, and those people compound into a life that keeps arriving full.
Withholding runs the same machine backwards. Guarding a small store confirms the belief that it is small, the belief contracts the state, and the contraction produces more guarding. Whoever waits to feel full before pouring waits out the whole of a life.
Christian Psychology lens
When I last blessed someone without being asked, who ended up carrying it?
Water gives itself to the lowest places and nourishes everything without taking a position. By never competing, it is never used up.
Wish another person well and the wish goes through you on the way out. The one practicing kindness is the first to be kind to.
Be like the ground that gives everything it has and finds itself green again. What flows out through you was never leaving.
