Ep 27 Rest Stops with God, Pt 1

Someone said, “Ministry is spillage.”

 When we are so full up of God ourselves, our ministry of love and exhortation and healing for others is simply the natural outcome.

Helping others is a by-product of seeking God and finding our rest in Him. In other words, we don’t seek to help others first, but that happens when we seek God first. Loving others is an overflow of loving God.

 “Lay thy head upon my breast and lose thyself in Me.” - Francis Roberts. And when we do, others get blessed as well as ourselves.

In Ephesians 3:19 Paul prays they will be filled up to all the fullness of God. I can't begin to understand "the fullness of God" but if he prayed for it, I will, too-- for me and for my family.
