Replenishing

Have you ever poured yourself out in love and given of yourself only to find you were filled with love and received replenishing?
It is often the case that when we give we also receive. The measure we use to give to others is often the measure we receive from others.
The wise author of the wisdom book of Proverbs wrote, “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.” (Proverbs 11:25, ESV).
When we live our lives as a blessing to others, we in turn are enriched and blessed. When we water others, not only do they bear fruit, but we are watered and we bear fruit as well.
May we be replenished as we pour ourselves out as a blessing to others, and may we find that we too are enriched and refreshed as a result of refreshing others.
A Collect for Resurrection Hope: “Lord God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ triumphed over the powers of death and prepared for us our place in the new Jerusalem: Grant that we, who have this day given thanks for his resurrection, may praise you in that City of which he is the light, and where he lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
