Overflow
In the book Outflow Steve Sjogren & Dave Ping write:
Go ahead and imagine your life is a fountain...Everyone who has a relationship with Jesus is given power, wisdom, and insight when God sends His Spirit to them as a counselor and guide. The central column of the fountain is the Holy Spirit in your life. Just as the central column fills the fountain, so, too the Holy Spirit wants to fill every one of your relationships with God's love, joy, and wonder. The first bowl catches and distributes the power of the Spirit is your relationship with God... Once you have a relationship with God, the first and most natural place his Spirit will overflow is going to be your home. So the second bowl of the fountain is your relationship with family and friends... The third tier of the fountain represents how the Spirit flows into your relationship with community- especially the people with whom you have little or no natural connection... The last and largest bowl the Spirit wants to fill with love and life is your relationship with the world.
What would happen today if we as Christ followers asked the Holy Spirit into our lives and let Him fill our bowl with His love, joy, and wonder? What would happen today if we let that love, joy, and wonder shine through us onto our families and friends? What would happen today if that loved flowed through the people closest to us into the people around them? What would happen today if that love, joy and wonder flooded over the world?
What would happen today...?
