Refill Anyone?

I’m slowly but surely hearing from my Heavenly Father. It’s odd because He is speaking in the smallest ways and through the simplest forms. It’s well needed that is for sure and i pray He continues to pour into me.
Its so easy to pour out and give but then we forget that we need to be refilled. Spiritually i feel like I get so carried away with pouring into others and life itself that I forget to make sure im being refilled continually.

There is nothing better than the waitress who keeps an eye on your glass of tea and notices when its 3/4ths empty. Before you can finish it off and regret drinking that last drop because of the wait for more, she is there to refill it. I thought about this and i thought about how Christ is continually waiting for the opportunity to refill our “glass” (hearts). However, in order for Him to refill the cup we must put it down and allow Him to Pour Into it. This is something i am learning…

I’m glad He does not make me wait for a refill, however i regret the fact that sometimes when he comes for the refill i decline. It’s so easy to be full and feel hydrated, however that is impossible with Christ. We are called to continually serve Him in all our actions and everything we do. If we are required to give daily what He pours into us then it’s impossible for us to be filled. We must continually be refilled. We never know what is around the corner to drain our thirst or dehydrate us, therefore we must always be full and overflowing!…. (side-note: that is in no way what I intended to write but for some reason it came out)

Jeremiah 2:13–
“My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

Jeremiah 14:3
“The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns but find no water. They return with their jars unfilled; dismayed and despairing, they cover their heads.”
 **We can not expect to get the same living water Christ provides from our own ‘well’. We will never be fulfilled. We were made for the “water” our Christ provides…we become dehydrated with out it.

Jeremiah 17:8
“He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes;its leaves are always green.It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
**When we are being poured into daily, we are always prepared for the bumps that life throws in front of us or the Valleys we are left walking. Christ is waiting at our booth with a never ending pitcher of the very things our life needs…i don’t know about yall but i need a refill!
