	"We're blessed to be a blessing, here to make Him known. To lightly hold to this world for it is not our home. We're stewards of the Message of everlasting change. We're blessed to be a blessing, to pour out the love of a King". That last line was influenced by an action David took when he was holed up in the cave of Adullam. He wanted a drink of water from the well at Bethlehem and his three mighty men, at great risk to themselves, went and got some water for him. But, after such heroic effort, he wouldn't drink the water. Instead, he took it and poured it out to the Lord. I used to see this as so ungrateful on his part. I've often wondered why, with so many glaring failures, that God considered him a man after His own Heart. Now, I think I have some understanding of it. We hear all the time that God wants us to be blessed people. I agree, that is true. But I think we're missing why He wants to bless us. I think He wants to bless us so that we can take it to the next level. I think He wants us to fully grasp what He has done for us and be so grateful that we take those blessings and pour them back out to Him. To pour them into the things that He considers important. And, to do it joyously, never daring to hoard them for ourselves.
