Starving or Full?

We've been attending this great little church up on the hill here in Yellville. The Spirit is moving in a mighty way within that body of believers. We are blessed to have been led there so we can be fed His word. It would be hard to even begin to share with you the Spirit moving testimonies, sermons and ministries at work but I will try my best to give you just a glimpse of a dream that was spoke about Wednesday night.

Picture if you will walking in to a room where a huge table is prepared and in the middle of that table there is a large pot of homemade stew just waiting to be devoured and enjoyed. Now around that table are all these people, but they are as skinny as a rail. They are looking around at each other wondering how they were ever going to enjoy the stew. Because you see these spoons were so long they could not feed themselves. There arms were too short to hold the spoon to their mouths.

Now let's move to another room and as you open the door you witness a room full of people, they are fattened and overjoyed with the abundance of food...They were picking up the spoons and enjoying every bite...What's the difference, you ask? They were picking up their spoons and feeding EACH OTHER! Chill bumps rise up all over me as I recall hearing this Wed. night. They got it! They realized that it's not about trying to feed yourself. That if you will pick up the spoon and feed another, maybe just maybe you can realize YOU WILL GET FED!! Isn't it amazing how we can get so caught up "ME"! But when it comes to really getting "fattened up with the Love of God", we miss out because we are so busy trying to feed ourselves we forget about feeding each other. Bearing one anothers burdens, loving others as Christ loved us, feeding each other!

Never before have I even came close to grasping the amazing love in freedom we have in our Maker, our Creator, our FRIEND! He's not something that we look up to and just imagine how great it's going to be when we see Him and get to Heaven. (Now, don't get me wrong that is going to be great....) He's available to us every minute, every hour, every day. Right here beside us. Calling us Friend. We have the same authority in Him today as we will when we stand with Him face to face. The great thing though is we can enjoy all that "Loving" right now. Loving each other, Loving Him....picking up that spoon and feeding each other.

Lord, I pray that we can all look for ways to pick up that spoon and feed one another. May we use the gifts and blessings you give us to help each other. May we love one another so that through that love they will know we are your disciples...BECAUSE WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

I just love you Lord and I pray that your love will grab hold of every person that reads this and not let go! We all make it very hard...I made it very hard for too long...it was always to hard...all that wanting to be perfect for You...Lord, I thank you for sending Your Son, I thank you for bearing it all so I could be free, I thank you for your love. It is my prayer that we all start "fattening" up on your stew! Let's start looking across the aisle, the girl sitting alone at the ballgame, the lonely man across the street. Let's quit lying complacent and DO SOMETHING!!!
