Half empty or almost full?

Today, Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of “A Miracle Every Day”. I pray his message and audio will bless you today.

You can only give what you are full of. 

A few weeks ago, I borrowed my friend’s pick-up truck. I was heading to a cabin in the mountains to replace a couch for a small business we started. It was a great trip, but on the way back to Las Vegas, I ran out of gas. I was stuck on the highway for over two hours, waiting for help. It was so frustrating. I missed important appointments because I failed to fill up the tank. I failed to notice the small light on the dashboard. I missed the signal that I was running out of gas. 

Have you ever missed life signals you were running out of spiritual, emotional, financial or relational strength? 

Many years ago, I burned out. I was this young graduate student, starting two counseling centers and working on my day off. I’ll never forget being obsessed about stuff. I couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t get out of bed. I had neglected four simple principles of life. 

1. You can not give what you don’t have. 
2. It is my responsibility to fill up my tank.
3. The Sabbath is a divine principle. God rested and so should I. 
4. I need to exercise several times a week.

The apostle Peter revealed this principle: “I have no silver or gold, but what I do have I give…” (See Acts 3:6, NET)

I’ve realized through the past 35 years of helping people and training leaders, that I can easily get depleted, empty, tired and distracted. I needed to develop a place and plan to refill my tank every week. Have you ever felt this way? Do you have a refilling place and plan? 

If you don’t have a plan to fill your tank weekly, you are planning your emptiness. 

Be full…be inspired…rest, then pour out into others. 

You’re a miracle!
