Squeezed!

"If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God's purpose is not simple to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may SQUEEZE SWEETNESS OUT OF US." 

What is He filling you with? Are you getting squeezed? I know I am!

"He who believes in me...out of His heart will flow."  John 7:38

Sounds like we're being harvested. =)

Seriously, though, if you are never growing and never becoming more like Christ, He can't really get anything useful out of you. In fact, you might just be in the way. (shrug)

Nice post

Of course!! Thanks. So true. We always have to full so we can always give. Once we stop giving, we are just in the way. Nice way to put it :)
