Running on MPT

         Yep, the gas tank light is flickering. I am honestly trying to push it to make it home. It's probably not the smartest thing to do but I am running late. I could stop and loose a few minutes however, I may not make my next appointment.

         That is a mind set that I am always trying to fight. I push it and run close to  empty too often and I suffer for it. Well, I do as well as those around me.

         Yet, there are times when I am doing what I am called to do in the daily grind of things and I get depleted. I think we are meant to spend ourselves in this life. We are designed to work and be used up. I imagine it's just worth it if what I am doing is worth the draining.

         It's so much better than the alternative: It's about me and I don't give out of myself. I am the Dead Sea and I take in but never have an outlet to life around me. I look alive yet, nothing lives in me.  I have it all but have nothing.

         Yikes!

         Thank the Lord that He knows how to refill my tank. Even better is He doesn't put in the cheap stuff when He refills. The Lord uses a fuel to replenish His people that's out of this world...really.

         So, don't be afraid to be spent, work hard, get into a worthwhile struggle. Don't over do it and wear yourself out but, in His grace find the balance. I think our life, our vehicle changes each time there is less of me and more of Him to fill up.

        

When I am empty, I can function not on my own. I have My Personal Theos.
