::A Bible Verse::
" For I Was Hungry And You Gave Me Food;
I Was Thirsty And You Gave Me Drink.....
Inasmuch As You Did It To One Of The Least
Of These..... You Did It To Me."
= Matthew 25:35,4O
What Will Keep Us Going And Growing?
What Can Protect Us From The Perils Of
Success?
What Force Can Keep Motivating Us All
The Days Of Our Life?
Where Can We Tap Into A Power Source That
Will Sustain And Feed An Unending Compulsion
To Creativity And Productivity?
I Know Of Only One Answer.
Focus on Human Need Rather Than On Selfish
Pleasures.
Look At Lost Souls Rather Than On Selfish Comfort.
When The Former Sees Hungry People Devouring
With Relish The Fruit Of His Labor, He Knows That
Unless He Gets Back to Work To Produce A New Crop,
The Next Year There Will Be Hungry People And Starving
Children.
That Is His Motivation For Continued Productivity!
Faith Is Filling Someone Else's Cup.
Self-Serving And Self-Seeking Is Ultimately Self-Defeating.
That's A Fundamental Principle Of Life.
Commitment To The Service Of Others Is The Satisfying
Lifestyle.
It Is The Only Pathway To Spiritual Prosperity.
The Walk Of Faith Leaves Us No Choice But To
Focus On Filling Someone Else's Cup. In The Process
We Are Spared From he Haunting Hollowness Of Life
That Only God Can Satisfy.
+ A Prayer +
O God, As Long As I Live Help Me To Look For Someone
Who Is Hungry For Encouragement. Help Me To Fill That Cup!
Amen.
