What are you full of, friend?

Today, co-writer 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’s inside of you. My grandkids know my pockets are always full of candies. So the moment they see me, they rush towards me with open arms and cry out, “Papa!” After a big hug and a few “I love yous,” then comes the question, “Papa, can I have a candy?” Last week was an exception. For once, I had no candies in my pockets. You should have seen the look on their faces. It was a total surprise; they’ve grown accustomed to pockets full of candy. This illustrates an important point: you can’t give what you don’t have. Elisha was a lot like my grandkids because he loved what he saw in his mentor, Elijah. Elijah was about to ascend to heaven, and he asked Elisha if he had one final request: “When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?” “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.” (2 Kings 2:9, NIV) Elisha wanted a double portion of Elijah's spirit. He loved what was in Elijah so much that he asked for twice as much.  Have you ever admired someone so much you wanted to be like that person?  friend, you also have a spirit that people see and feel. Your spirit is formed by God, plus your internal thoughts, preparation, feelings and actions.  That’s why the Bible admonishes us to “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.” (Ephesians 4:31, NIV) I’m praying you will make sure you are full of good things every morning. I pray you will pour out such an amazing spirit that others would want more of you and what’s inside of you.  You’re a miracle. Paul Marc Goulet -- Thank you, Paul Marc, for sharing this today!
