Sponges

I read quite a few years an article that that compared Christians to sponges. There were some that stayed in the bucket of water. They didn't do much except sit and soak till they fell apart. They served no purpose. Then there were those that came out of the bucket. In the beginning they prospered at their work, but then they dried up. As the dried they too fell apart. Now we have the ones that leave the bucket and start cleaning. They frequently return to the water to be washed and filled. And they continue there until their job is done. We need to provide a balance in our lives and that will cause a healthy growth. Eating food and not exercising will lead to the same end as exercising and not eating. Reaching out is as important as reaching in.
