empty.

i related living out a life for JESUS to being spent for GOD's kingdom, this last sunday. it's an interesting questions to ask ourselves each day--am i really being used for GOD's kingdom. i am being spent...or am i spent? not so much am i busy all the time. charles wesley mapped his day planner out according to each 15 minute time slot.
no.
not this kind of spent.

could you look back and say that you became empty for JESUS today. that all GOD gave to you, to give to others (time, money, encouragement, etc) has been used up? i wonder if we can be come a sort-of "manna" for humanity. hum-manna-ty?

can we arrive on the scene as christians. early in the morning, when the dew is evaporating. can we provide the words, the actions and the deeds that JESUS would be doing if he was still on earth? carrying out his ministry?

or will we keep it to ourselves, and not trust that GOD will supply more for us to give to those around us tomorrow? will we receive the manna from GOD to give to a waiting world...
