do you feel tired, discouraged, empty inside, or like you do not have any purpose even though you are constantly seeking the Lord through prayer, fasting or reading your word??
many times we think that we should not be feeling discourage or meaningless after seeking the Lord but truth be told - you will continue to feel tired, empty or discourage if there is no output of what God is pouring into you when you seek Him. this is why the Bible is huge on loving one another & becoming a blessing to those around us. God doesn't want to hog all of His goodness. check these three verses out & i have a fourth verse that will help put things into perspective.
matthew 10:7-8
7 as you go, proclaim this message: ‘the kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED; FREELY GIVE.'
acts 20:35
35 in everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’
ezekiel 47:9
9 wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish.
< fourth verse >
ephesians 3:16-19
16 i pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
it is through fellowship with God & then through fellowship with the Lord's holy people that you will be filled with knowledge & love - & with God's fullness.
what a treat! so i strongly advice you to compliment somebody today if you're feeling unappreciated. or pray for somebody else's need right now if you're feeling discourage. or simply smile at somebody today if you're feeling sad. by you giving that to somebody else you will make their day & you too will feel refreshed!!
