The school lent me a motorbike. It is quite old but still useful. When I ride it, I really use it until the fuel is almost empty. The place to fill it is quite far from the place that I mostly visit. Last week, I ran out the fuel, I forgot to fill it, and motorbike broke down. Well, I really hated my self that time.
We all know how important the tank be always filled up. Our life is quite similar. Our life needs to be filled up with God's grace.
From the beginning, God created us, He put something special in our hearts. Thus, we desire to be in the relation to God. We will break down like that motorcycle if our life isn't filled up with His presence. We will break down if we do something against the will of God.
But actually, there is a small shop on the street that sells the fuel. It is almost in every corner of the town. The presence of God is everywhere. God is always there when we need to relate to him. He will fill our heart with the "fuel" of His love.
Mark 12:33 "And to love Him with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
If we have our tank full, we could ride anywhere. Loving God and having a deep relation with Him is delightful. Why do we choose to have our hearts empty if God always is ready to fullfil them? Why do we pretend to be fine even if we are broken inside?
That "fuel" from God is totally free and we can meet Him everywhere. Let us fill our hearts with the love of God so we can enjoy without worrying our tank will be drained.
