When is a leak a good thing?

Just got home from the Michigan Sectional Conference for Christian Camp and Conference Association. What an amazing time every year to gather with other Christian Camp professionals from around the state.

This year was very special as a senior saint spoke many times. The character of a leader came up and he made the statement that our true character is what we display in times of pressure or turmoil. His picture was like this. Imagine a cup. It is filled with water. When the cup is bumped what will come out? Water. What you are filled with is what will come out of you.

A mentally handicapped camper years ago once told me, "Ryan, I know that I am not normal. I have tons of holes in me. I pray every morning that God would fill me up with Jesus. That way all day long I am leaking Jesus out of my holes."

What are you filling yourself with? Fill yourself up with the things that you want to display when you are tested and that is what will come out.
