We Can Give It All Away

We can give it all away...

When we finally realize it was never ours to begin with.

As I began to experience the abundance of heaven... the sweet, overwhelming goodness of God poured into my life.

I woke up to one of the greatest deceptions of this world.

Scarcity.

Not enough time.

Not enough money.

Not enough love.

Not enough patience.

Not smart enough.

Not funny enough.

Not enough worth.

The world convinced me that everything was limited... so I lived a life of self-preservation. Selfishness that I disguised behind my kind actions and smooth words.

But now...

I have come to see that the Kingdom of Heaven is a Kingdom of abundance.

As we put our faith in Him, trust Him, follow Him, and learn His voice, He shapes us into willing vessels... willing to pour ourselves out as a drink offering to others.

Then as we pour ourselves out, He fills us again. And at the same time, mysteriously, He increases our capacity.

We no longer have to protect, hoard, or cling to what He has given us... because His supply never runs dry.

We can give away our love.

Our mercy.

Our kindness.

Our wisdom.

Our forgiveness.

Our time.

Our finances.

And as we do,

He fills us again...and again..and again.

Our cup runs over...

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
