overflow

Sometimes I feel like I’m totally running dry. I try to give and give and give and pour out everything I have. Which isn’t a bad thing. But lately I have been learning how crucial it is to receive before I give. At least in this case. If I’m not reading, worshipping, praying, spending time with the lord then I’m not allowing him to pour into me. And if I’m not allowing him to pour into me I have nothing to pour out to anyone else. Again and again the same lesson: I can’t do this on my own. Not at all for a single second. I know god is offering this immense love that will overflow onto others but I simply “can’t find the time” to accept it. And if I don’t then I have nothing to give. So I’m working on accepting as much love as I can every single day so that I can pass that love on to every person I come in contact with. As with everything I learn this sounds obvious. I know this. But it is so true in my life right now that I can’t afford to live any other way
