Has God given you love? Friendship? Spiritual blessings? It\u2019s at the peril of your soul\u2019s well-being that you use his gift to satisfy yourself. If you do, you cannot pour it out before the Lord. Remember that you can never sacrifice to God that with which you long to satisfy yourself. Satisfy yourself with one of his blessings and it will corrupt you. Rather, you must do what common sense says is an absurd waste and pour it out.<\/p>\n<p>How am I to pour out before the Lord the love I receive from others? There\u2019s only one way: through the determination of my mind. People may do certain things for me which are humanly impossible to repay, things I could never accept if I didn\u2019t know God. Since I do know him, I am able to accept others\u2019 loving acts because I know that <em>\u0411\u043e\u0433<\/em> will repay them\u2014so long as I give the thing back to him in my mind. I do this by saying, \u201cThis is too great and worthy for me; it\u2019s not meant for a human being at all. I must pour it out.\u201d The moment I commit something to the Lord, it will begin to flow in rivers of living water all around. If instead I hoard the love others give me, it will turn to poison. Love has to be transfigured by being poured out before the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>Have you become bitter and sour because you have clutched one of God\u2019s blessings for yourself? If instead you had poured it out to him, you would have been the sweetest person on earth. God wants to use you to enlarge other people\u2019s horizons. Get into the habit of immediately giving back to him everything he gives to you, and he will make you an immeasurable blessing to others.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you recently received something that is like water from the well near Bethlehem?
