Spilled
I am but the tiniest vessel. There is no pouring out that cannot, will not, be replenished. Refilled to the perfect measure, then running over…by the Abundant, Infinite, Giver of Life Himself. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

growth spurt
A heatwave in the summer causes a growth spurt in the garden. Does a heatwave in life cause personal growth too?

James 1:2-4
