Moody: holding the blessing

Feast of All Souls
Meditation:
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
—Acts 13:52 (NIV)

Quotation:
A great many think because they have been filled once, they are going to be full for all time after; but O, my friends, we are leaky vessels, and have to be kept right under the fountain all the time in order to keep full. If we are going to be used by God we have to be very humble. A man that lives close to God will be the humblest of men. I heard a man say that God always chooses the vessel that is close at hand. Let us keep near Him.
... Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899), Glad Tidings, New York: E. B. Treat, 1876, p. 291 (see the book)

Lord, fill me again with Your Spirit.
