Ever feel like you\u2019re running dry? You know, a little ding breaks in on your reverie and it\u2019s the low fuel light. Then you remember seeing a sign a couple minutes back that the next gas is 40 miles down the interstate? Just for example, not that this has ever happened to me!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to love Muslims. Heck, it\u2019s pretty hard to love people pretty much like you. Step across the divide of language, culture, religion and it gets tough, draining. The weight of our flesh and our culture lean heavily on us.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever thought, \u201cI\u2019m tired of caring for these people,\u201d whoever \u201cthese\u201d are for you, I get it. I\u2019m with you. Actually, we\u2019re all in this together. It\u2019s hard. . . but there is some hope. (Tweet this.)<\/p>\n
Paul asks his friends in I Corinthians 4.7, \u201cWhat do you have that God hasn’t given you?\u201d It\u2019s a humbling, but easy question, isn\u2019t it? Nothing. So what we give to others, what we give to God, comes out of a storehouse of what we\u2019ve been given.<\/p>\n
If we\u2019re tired and feel like we\u2019ve nothing to give, we can ask for more. \u201cDad, I\u2019m empty. I\u2019m skint. Give me the love you want passed on to the people you\u2019ve brought into my life.\u201d It\u2019s his project before it was ever ours, right?<\/p>\n
The refill might not come instantly or simply. But remember with me that we can only give out what God has poured in. And be reminded with me, that this God we serve, oh man, is he rich and generous, loves his kids so much. And he is dead set on his purposes to bring life to all the families of the earth.<\/p>\n
