I love being a listener

I was faced with an unusual decision today, and wrestled with it on and off during the day. I was coming up to a point where I was going to have to decide, and needed counsel. So I asked my Heavenly Father what was in it for me if I decided to go to this meeting. Right away, He said, "People. I want to make you a rich man. Rich with people."

See, my rut included staying isolated. The lie said that I did not have much, and what I had people only wanted. The only thing that could happen by being around more people was losing even more of what I did not have enough of.

It is so fascinating how lies are about the true important things, but so much the opposite of the truth. The thing that keeps me poor is not having enough empty people around me to pour Gods love into. The more need there is, the more I can pour...and the more I get refilled with fresh Love. Sure, when all I had to offer was the fullness of my poor humanity, then it was true that I was going to run out when around needy people

The deal is that they are only 'needy' when I have nothing for them. When I am filled to the top, shaken together, pressed down and running over with what is for them anyway, then I never feel any lack when someone needs Love poured out on their lives.

So I am going tomorrow to collect my inheritence, people. Thank you, Father that you have plans for me, that I should prosper in Your Kingdom, and in the manner of Your Kingdom.
