One of the greatest dangers is that once we receive our blessing or whatever we were needing or seeking from God is we stop caring about firstly those that helped us get this and secondly those who are still seeking it!

Matthew 18: the ungrateful servant who received his forgiveness from the King. But once he received what he needed – the mercy and the grace from the King – he forgot about the needs of others and chose to deny one of his own servants the same forgiveness.

Finding what you seek from God is a good thing. But God makes us channels of his blessing, not just a cup to be filled. When you receive that healing, that sense of belonging, that sense of hope or purpose through God’s mercy, it is an opportunity to seek the same opportunity for others around us. Not to tap out once you get what you want.

– You got that miracle? Great! Now seek the miracle for those around you also.

– You found a new group of friends? Great! Now be a friend to those who need the same thing!

– God has given you a new purpose? Great! Now help out your fellow church family to find the same opportunity.

Take the gift you have received and use it as motivation to bless the next person
