You can’t give out unless you have first taken in. Trying to serve others without first getting spiritual nourishment is like trying to run a marathon without proper nutrition. You’re going to run out of steam, crash and fail to finish the race.
Four sources of spiritual nourishment are: Bible reading, prayer, church attendance and spending time with likeminded Christians.
If we hope to be a help, we must get regular nourishment from these four places.
