Living Poured-Out

"One of the keys to being fulfilled and content is to be others-centered. When you live a poured-out life, you realize that you aren't the only one struggling or going through a hard time or waiting on the promises of God to be fulfilled in your life. It is hard for me to think about myself when there is a family living in a mud hut that has no food to eat and no bed to sleep in. It is hard for me to think about my dreams when I am comforting a child who has just lost their mother to AIDS. It is hard for me to think about my desires when I live with orphans who know the pain of rejection and abandonment." - Karris Hudson
