Pourer or Pouree?

A few weeks ago, I did hospital visits which is an opportunity I am blessed with here at Christ's Church. I met with two separate men that had both been in the hospital almost three weeks each. We sat and talked about life and everything else under the sun, or so it seemed. As is always the case, when I left I felt like I was ministered to more than I ministered to them! I think that is probably God’s renewing spirit working to encourage us to continue the good fight, don’t you think?

God knows that we can only pour love into people if we actually have it inside of us to pour. We get that love inside of us from many different places...the Word, friends, family, nature's beauty, acts of kindness, etc. It comes from many places but it all has one source from which it came...Our Savior.

That's why it's so important for us all to be in this thing together. Sometimes you are the one God is using to pour in to others, while sometimes you must be the one being poured in to...
