Pour

Pour.  An intentional filling.  Not a spilling, but a pouring.  Pour.  Pour yourself. Pour yourself into life.

I know people who have had terrible things happen to them.  The were raped, they were rejected, they were crushed, they were shamed.  On and on those stories go.  Almost all of us have them.  We are all refugees from something.

Some of those people fell into victim hood.  Some rose above the evil.  Some of them succumbed.  Some of them fought back and overcame difficulty in this life.

Don't measure your life by what happened to you yesterday.  Measure your life by what you will bring to today and tomorrow.  Pour yourself into life.  There are enough people who gave up.  Don't be one of them.  Stand up.  Absorb the pain.  Rise above it.  Speak into life.  Make the world a better place.  The choice is yours.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
