The other day I was driving around and I started feeling weird. I didn't know what the feeling was for so I went through the usual checks.

Am I hungry? No

Did I just eat a bunch of junk food? No

Do I need to go exercise? Probably, but that's not what I'm feeling.

Is the Lord trying to tell me something? Always... but not with this particular feeling.

What is it?

I figured it out. One of my weird pet peeves was happening. My gas tank was on empty and my phone was almost done. I don't know why, but I can just feel it when things like that are getting low. It drives me crazy!

Fortunately, as believers, spiritual emptiness is not something we ever have to worry about. I was taught growing up that we need to be constantly refilled from the Lord so that we can continue living life and loving others. It was to be a repetitive process of being filled, pouring out, being filled again, and so on and so forth. I can't tell you how many times I felt powerless to do something because I had not been refilled or refueled lately.

Recently I have learned that I have an overflowing well of blessing and strength inside my heart. God is pouring out of my heart. The source of the well is God inside of me, therefore I can never become empty.

I still love sitting and spending time with God, and we will continue to have Rush Refuel nights at youth group. But it is important to understand the distinction between God refilling us and the realization that God has never stopped pouring out of us. Once we are seated in heavenly places with the Lord, we don't ever leave. It is easy to forget how good we have it.
