Bankrupt to Overflow

Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
(Philemon 1:11)
Have you ever felt as if you lived a life that meant nothing, or even went through a time where you were pouring everything out but nothing was working? When Paul was talking about Onesimus and says that there was a time when he was unprofitable I can relate to that. I can relate to having no fruit, not harvest, and nothing to show for anything because I had bankrupt myself. But thank God that I am no longer that way! Thank God that I can be like Onesimus and have the testimony to know that there was a time that I was useless but when Christ came by my way He made me worth something far more than I could ever create for myself.
But how do you get to a place of Overflow when it seems like you are living life as bankrupt? It's simple, you have to take in much more than you put out, just like a budget if you are spending more than you bring home then you have a major problem. God has a way of showing us a spiritual truth through a physical example. We have all lived carelessly at times and mess up more times than we could ever count. But here is the Truth, God is moving in us and through us and there is more treasure inside these earthen vessels than you can imagine. This is my testimony, I might not be rich in money but I am overflowing in love, mercy, and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. AS the song says I'm rich in faith and hope and love I have more than my share, I'm moving to a mansion over in glory I'm a rightful heir. Turn to Jesus and allow him to take you from a bankrupt life to a life of OVERFLOW!
