Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.
I’m writing this specifically for my kids. My hope is that they will have my blog long after their dad is gone and they will always know their dads heart. My prayer is that not only will they know their dads heart but they will see Daddy’s heart (God’s heart) despite my short comings.
I was watching the slow drip from the medical IV bag to Josiah’s Pic-line into his arm tonight. It’s a slow go for the antibiotics from the bag to his veins, but it’s moving! It’s easy to forget the medicine is even moving until the alarm sounds and the nurse comes into remove the bag.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
That’s the way we should invest in people. Drip. Pour into someone daily. Drip. Encourage them. Drip. Remind them they are special. Drip. Show them Jesus. Drip. Speak life. Drip.
If we invest in people and drip Christ’s love into them daily, eventually it will begin to collect into their spirit. That’s when you have the opportunity to truly speak into their lives. Drip daily the antibiotics of truth that they don’t even know they needed in their own sickness.
I’m trying. I want to drip into my kids lives. I want to drip into my wife. Drip into our youth group. Drip into the community with Hacer210. Drip into my team members at work. And for this week: drip into every nurse, respiratory therapist, doctor, and janitor at Santa Rosa hospital.
Eventually the alarm will sound like it does when the IV is completed on Josiah’s Pic-line! But it’s going to take a lot of drips to make that happen. That means you will have to do a lot of investing into people.
Josiah, Levi, and Grace…I pray that you will drip into others. Each one of y’all are crazy talented and so special. The reason God made you this way, was so that you could pour out into so many people.
Who can you drip onto today?
