pouring out

Read this tonight and it really resonated with me.  It is from from Ann Voskamp's book, "The Broken Way."

"'You know how we all want more?'  He holds up the full-to-the-top water bottle in front of me.  'Look at this.  You can't have more unless you pour out.  You can only receive more as you pour yourself out.'  And then he tipped the water bottle... and I watched the water pour, and I felt upended and it felt about perfect.  When you are filled to the brim with the enoughness of Christ, the only way you can possibly have more is to pour yourself out.  The only way to more life is by pouring more of yourself out...  God believes in me.  Christ in me makes me enough.  I have more and become more, the more I pour out.
