21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. Luke 10:21
When you give effort, is it a full effort or is it just halfway? When you look at a glass, is it half full or half empty? We talk about perceptions of things and know that God wants our full commitment, but many times we know that we give less than half. Why do we only give half or less to our God? Is it because we are afraid we are going to lose out on something if we give too much of ourselves, or is it that we don't feel like we are worthy enough to give God more than half. We cannot be full of anything if we spend our lives below or at half. If you notice, even Jesus was full while He was here on earth while He was trying to teach his disciples. While there were times when they only seemed half in to what was happening, Jesus still stuck with them. We have to find ourselves in an effort to be full. Be full of life, be full of love, be full of care, and be fully pursuing God. As you reflect, don't be too hard on yourself, for God wants us to realize that we need Him and be fully invested. Be full.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
