The Unlimited Supply

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17

"God cannot fully bless you until He fully breaks you."

Everyone (EVERYONE) has something to offer to another. As vessels, we either intentionally or unintentionally purpose ourselves for good or evil and are filled with either Light or darkeness. We are full of something. As we interact with people every day in person, on the phone, on Facebook, or even through word of mouth, we're either a blessing or a discouragement. We either build people up or tear them down. We either heal or break more. We either uplift or discourage. Our every action affects the lives of the people we come in contact with whether or not we know it's happening. What exactly are we telling people with our words, actions, facial expressions, etc? Does our every movement and emotion draw our listeners and watchers to Jesus Christ or do we disallusion people to the glory, freedom, victory, and beauty that is Jesus Christ? Because our lives tell a story, whether that be through our speech or everyday emotions, we must be sure to tell His story of grace, mercy, peace, love, and justice. We must speak loudly with our lives, boldy claiming the Person of Jesus Christ. Our lives must proclaim His blood, deliverance, and redemption. Why must we drag our feet and sludge through mundane daily necessities when through these things we can speak the Truth of Jesus Christ walking in His Joy, His peace, His love, His justice, and His mercy? Psalm 23 says that when God fills, He overfills. When we intentionally go to the Filler of good things, we are only then able to give good things to the people around us. When we do not submit to the Lord, read His Word, look to Him for our complete satisfaction, and worship Him, we only give poison to the people around us. The Bible says that:

"If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 4:10-12

Let our thirst drive us to the Unlimited supply of Living water that is Jesus Christ and as He fills us, may we pour ourselves out and give life to the ones who are dying of thirst around us.

You are God's vessel that is full of something. Are you giving away Life or death? Are you keeping it for yourself? Let us be a people that others can write the words of Philemon 20 about: "I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ." We are of great benefit and refreshment to the lost of this world and our brothers and sisters in Christ if we are full of the One who gives Life abundantly. The people around us are clawing for God. We have in us the same Power that conquered Jesus Christ from the dead. We are the emodiment of the Living Word. We can choose to arrogantly, cowardly, or pridefully keep Him to ourselves or like Jesus Christ, allow God Him self to permiate us and radiate out of us.
