When You're All Poured Out...

Have you ever felt that you pour out... and you pour out...and you pour out... until finally... you are all poured out?  I've been feeling that way to the extreme the past several days.  This past week, I didn't care if the church was organized and all clean... I didn't want to play piano...I didn't want to do the bulletins... I didn't want to do the count... I didn't want to teach the Sunday School... I didn't want to counsel...or minister... I... just...didn't. I didn't want to do any more pouring. There are just some days lately when doing personal inventory on the inside of me that I find...there's nothing left,  and I tell God... you know what God... I'm just all poured out. There's no oil left to pour. It's a weary, heartbreaking, joyless feeling when you feel like there's just nothing left to give.  This morning as I was reading, I came across the scripture of the widow's oil...God took care of her need, and I felt God tell me... "Let me give you what you need this morning.  Let me pour my oil back into you...an oil that will not run out as long as there is a vessel to fill."  I asked God..."God, what kind of oil would that be?"  He said, "The oil of My joy."  Hebrews 1:9 says, "You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has placed You above Your companions by anointing You with the oil of joy."

God always has a way of bringing hope and refreshing when you're all poured out...  I'm thankful this morning for my God and for His oil of joy!

    My name is Lisa...and yes... I am the wife of a Pastor...but yet, I'm so much more.  I want to share with you how valuable you are and let you know that, just like me, you are more than just a title. 

    I also want to share my heart with you about God's Word and how it is reflected in the world today.
