What flows in must flow out.

One more day comes to a slow finish and if I am honest, no I did not do all I was meant to.
My talents...lets see, mmmm think, think think,
I am hospitable, at least I used to be.
I am a good event organizer, at least I used to be.
I am creative, at least I used to be.
I am a people person, at least I used to be.
What has happened that I let these talents, these passions, slowly wither up like the hanging baskets in my front yard? Vibrant with color and life in the spring now dry, useless and ugly hanging there to be taken away and forgotten.
We had a speaker tell us about the Dead Sea. It is called the Dead Sea because it is dead. It is dead because what flows in, has no way to flow out. It just flows in and evaporates. My life...

I have started a come back from the Dead Sea my life has become.
The Lord has started new life in my heart, new growth for the person I should be.
I am going to say YES.
Here it is, yes to hospitality, yes to people, yes to the Lord.  What has been flowing in must begin to flow out.
Flowing In:

"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? "Micah 6:8

Flowing In:

⁹ Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. ¹⁰ Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. ¹¹ Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. ¹² Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. ¹³ Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. ¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. ¹⁶ Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.  Never be wise in your own sight. ¹⁷ Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. ¹⁸ If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all."  Romans 12:9-18
