Do you want to be poured into? Are you craving a mentor, spiritual guidance and wisdom? Or even peers who have a desire to love God and to grow in Him? Ask God! And sometimes the answer is to first make yourself available to others. If we want so badly to receive, shouldn’t we be willing to give as well?

Quotes from When Demand Exceeds Supply:

“And so I started praying: ‘God, I don’t have enough peace or patience, or love, but you do!’ And so I got up and even though I didn’t want to go out, I just asked God, ‘God will you give me more, give me excess love to pour out.'”

“Discipleship is sharing the Word of God! So every time you are opening your mouth with the word of God on it, you are discipling.”

Shea Watson, The Pantry Podcast, When Demand Exceeds Supply

“I cannot pour into other people if I don’t first have God pouring into me!”
