Contain Yourself!

We're all vessels…

Containers of what we put into (or allow into) ourselves.

"As a Man (or woman) thinketh..."


Picture, if you will, a large, earthen jar…



Imagine it filled to the rim with clean, pure water

So full, that even the slightest movement
will cause the water to spill over


Now picture a second jar filled with a dark,
smelly, murky sludge


Which would YOU be more willing to carry?


And so it is with us…

We "spill over" onto all those we come into contact with.

Filled with greed, self-centeredness, negativity, etc..
we repel those we come in contact with...quickly, I might add!

Filled with pure thoughts, wisdom and understanding…

With LOVE...

People flock to us to "drink in" what's spilling out of us

We understand there will be times when we come across
someone who is so parched…so THIRSTY…

That we need to empty ourselves so they might live.

And so we MUST.

But the GLORIOUS FACT is that Nature abhors a vacuum

So the more we empty ourselves for the sake of others

The more we ourselves will be filled again with

Energy

Light

and

LOVE!

The TRUE essence of God.
