What do you NEED? Give and it shall be GIVEN YOU.

A few thoughts~~

1. What is IN you is what comes OUT.
2. Give and it shall be GIVEN YOU.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. When you are in a weakened, undisciplined moment, WHAT is WITHIN you is what COMES OUT.
When you have a "negative response" (anger, intolerance, disrespect, etc.) or an emotional outburst (fear, insecurity, helplessness, hopelessness, etc.), it may be embarrassing or frustrating to face, but God is working to DO a work IN you. When you really LOOK at how you behaved, it is revealing something about what IS inside of you. HE is looking to refine you as gold, drawing the dross to the top. And for our sake, the sooner it comes out the better!
I 've noticed for myself, whenever my prayer is "Lord, empty ME out and FILL me with YOU!" and "If there be any wicked way within me, show me", then I'd better watch out becasue usually some big 'event" is going to occur-- marital discord, strife with my children, a fight with my neighbor OR a complete stranger.... and it takes me completely off guard and I feel like I got hit between the eyes with a brick or peirced through my heart! It's true-- I DID. Through that "event", the Lord is WORKING to break through to my heart so it is OPEN for HIS indwelling.
What I am learning: WHEN "bad/sad/mad stuff" spills out of you, refill yourself with LOVE and the other fruits of the Spirit of God. If you don't give 'evil' for 'evil' and instead give "good" for "evil" then you will be productive and will be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
When you SEE what comes out of you, explore it by getting down to the baseline of the emotion that's coming out in physical, mental or spiritual manifestations. Then COUNTER it with it's productive COUNTERPART.
RESIST (your self-centered ego) and Satan('s tools and lies) will flee.

When you can recognize what is coming out, consider it's counterbalance:
rejection - acceptance
fear - (no fear) hope
sorrow - joy
pain - happiness (joy related)
anger - peace
hurt - healing
control - freedom
insecurity - security/trust
hate - love
disrespect - respect
unworthiness- worth/value

(these are just SOME of the negative ones) So if you recognize these 'issues' (that which comes forth) of the heart, and you CHOOSE to GIVE that emotional 'need' to the Lord, and then GIVE to 1. yourself and 2. others the COUNTERBALANCE THEN Jesus' promise will occur, "GIVE and it SHALL be GIVEN YOU."

So WHAT is it that your heart WANTS/NEEDS? GIVE that.
What is it that your spouse or children need? GIVE that to them. If it appears a superficial or materialistic need, the baseline is usually a feeling of acceptance and worthiness. GIVE that.

How you treat others IS what YOU, yourself need the most. If you can turn from treating another with _______ (ie, intolerance) then GIVE them tolerance and patience. That is what you eventually WILL receive because that will BECOME what IS within you. Such pure, good fruits of the Spirit will bring health and healing to YOUR spirit and the intolerance or hate will no longer be what bubbles out from your heart's depth. It may not be that you GET it from the other person but you'll
get it from WITHIN, which is from GOD'S SPIRIT! It is manifested in YOU, not in a selfish, negative way but in a way that allows your SELF to be emptied out so your deepest need can be met.
God your Creator and Father KNOWS what your deepest need is~ He fashioned you with that empty spot and only your DRIVE to fill it is what He planned to use to drive you to Himself and His heart. It is not in punishment that He gave you that need but so that your greatest need will be your greatest healing ~~ Your greatest emptiness is for His abundant, overflowing presence within you.... His sacred, precious vessel.

Is your drive, your search for what you need productive or distructive? GIVE yourself goodness, give others goodness and it SHALL be given you the desire of your heart!!

May God's Spirit burn within you and focus your efforts on what is TRUE and what is pure, that your deepest need may be filled and you experience complete healing in Him, your Father. Amen.
