From: Boyd Bailey Ministries
The ups and downs of life tend to drain us. Physical challenges deplete our energy. Conflict can consume our emotions. Financial stress sucks the life out of our sense of security. The loss of a loved one leaves a hole in our heart. Like a well-traveled car risks running out of gas, so we can run ourselves into spiritual, physical, and emotional emptiness. But God has provided the fullness of Christ to fill us up!
He gives us grace upon grace--not too much to drown us with spiritual pride, and not too little for us to labor in our own power. The grace of our Lord is a regular stream of strength for us to appropriate by faith.
The more your grace capacity enlarges, the more you are able to live graciously and serve others. It's a lifetime of continually taking hold of and receiving the Lord’s grace by faith. Your Lord is the fullness of grace, so you can be full by faith. Empty self and fill up with your Savior.
