Fill in the blank


"As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God..."
2 Timothy 4:6

What an incredible statement to be able to say, "my life has been poured out..." There's great meaning behind that statement "poured out" especially when looking at the life of Paul. If you read between the lines and look at Paul's life poured out means "I gave it everything", "I risked it all", "I was persecuted but was never stopped", I have nothing left, everything was spent, everything was used, everything was poured out so that others might know the love of God.

What does poured out mean in your life today? Poured out might mean:
I really need to speak to _________________ today so they realize the love of God.
I have always had a dream to do___________________for God.
In 2009 I want to make sure that I accomplish _____________for my family, my home or my marriage.
I don't want to die without seeing ______________ occur in my life.

We will determine how much of our lives we pour out, and into what or who we pour our lives out to. We will determine what song, what dream, what creative idea, what sermon, what good deed, what influence, will be used or not. I want my life poured out as an offering to God. I want my life to please Him, I want my life to matter, to count, I want my life to live past my grave. Where do you need to fill in the blanks?
