So today I slept in until almost ten a.m. and didn't go out of the house all day. It was fabulous! That does not make praying for people and keeping up with my New Year's Resolution very easy! However, God was awesome and He brought people to me. :o) I got to pray with several people via facebook and text today. One of the best parts of praying with people is the peace of God that comes as His love is poured out. It is truly amazing! Freely He gave to me all of the peace and love and joy and mercy and grace and I get to learn how to give those things away just as freely. No strings attached. Just pour out the love of God which has been shed abroad in my heart. I love how the more I pour out the more I am filled up each and every day. It is kind of like the story where Elisha tells the woman to go get as many jars as she can find and pour out the oil from her little jar. As she poured out that little oil she had left, it filled many jars and did not stop pouring out until she ran out of jars to pour into. I think the Holy Spirit is that way in us. We may just have a little oil in us but as we pour it out into other vessels it will keep pouring and pouring until we run out of vessels to pour in to.
I am so thankful that God has allowed me to pour in to others and to realize I should always make time for others, never to be to busy to stop and pray for someone, no matter what I am doing or how important I think it is. Sharing God's love is the most important thing.
