“A glass can only spill what it contains!” These are the repetitive words to one of my favorite songs. As I was giving it a listen today God hit me with a revelation at goes far beyond my own circumstances and perspective. In everything that we try to do it’s important to remember that a glass can only spill what it contains.

As a preacher, I cannot spill the Word of God out on others unless my life is filled with it.

As a leader, I cannot spill passion into the lives of others unless I have first been filled with an uncontainable fire.

As a father, I cannot spill out wisdom on my children if I have not first filled myself with Godly wisdom.

Here’s what you should be asking yourself. What do I need to be so full of that it uncontrollably spills out of my life? What should the vessel of my soul contain that would be worthy of pouring out on others? Then, fill yourself with such things.
