If constantly you are only pouring out, never being fed...sooner or later you will be empty. Life has taught me that sympathy will only cause others to feel sorry for themselves. So often people victimize themselves, and expect others to pick up the tab. Pouring out can become much like an addiction, just as being filled up can all the same. Crack cocaine isn't the only detrimental drug on the market, there are others getting high just on the thought that the world owes them something.
No one owes you anything, we all have trials, tribulations, and our own share of hardships. Emptied out are those of us who get so wrapped up in giving, we think we can save the world. But this world is not ours to save, we are merely the tools from the tool shed that God uses when he sees fit to do so. And for you takers, if you continue looking only for gifts from the world, nothing this world gives you will ever be enough. When God created us he placed a void within us that can only be filled with him...and unless you reach out and touch him the King of Kings, the Holy One. He is Alpha, Omega, the Prince of Peace, and any man who does not know him will spend the rest of their lives trying to fill a void that can only be filled by Him.
And for you givers no amount of us giving will ever fill that Void. All you can do is introduce your loved ones to God, pray for them, and they must do the rest! May Blessings continue to fall on all ye saints of God.
Amen,amen,amen! Never thought of it as an "addiction" but yea that is so true!
