Refueling

Being filled with the Holy Spirit is what drives us in our walk. This is where I think the beauty of scripture comes out. In order for us to live a life that brings God glory, we have to be filled by God, and it's the overflow of what's in us that allows us to live a life pleasing to God. How many times have we felt like we've been running on empty? Our feeble mind can lead us to think maybe if I start going to church again, maybe if I go on a missions trip, or maybe if I read this Christian book I'll be able to feel God again in my life. Though often times, those things can give us a spurt in our spiritual lives but compared to the well of life found through the Holy Spirit and scripture, those things are just mere cups, maybe bottles of life at best. The source of life where we need to visit frequently in our walks is found only in Christ Himself. How do we know we are being filled by God? Two words: peace and joy.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. - Romans 15:13
