Refreshed
24 One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
25 A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs 11:24-25
In a week where we have had over 100+ degree temperatures on a daily basis, it can be very hard to be refreshed in this heat. The A/C works hard, but the most refreshing thing have been the glasses of ice water that have cooled down my body. Now let us talk about being spiritually refreshed. What does it take to get you to the point where you might have a down day, to where you get refreshed knowing that God loves you and cares about you? Maybe it is music, scripture, quiet time or talking to God that provides the refreshment. Maybe it is even like the scripture talks about, refreshing others with help and love. How do you feel when you help others? I guarantee that your own worries go away because your mind is focused on them and what they need. When you start feeling sorry for yourself, take a moment to think about someone less fortunate than you or someone that needs assistance. I promise that your heart will grow and you will feel more refreshed.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
