Overflow

I was talking to a friend today about how I've been feeling a little bit disappointed in myself recently and in particular, I talked about the aspect of serving in His ministry. Well, I've been feeling like I really haven't been doing my job as a cell group leader to the best of my ability - at least based on what I see. I've manage communicating to my cell group members, but I just haven't really gotten much response whenever I do give the effort. I'm starting to feel that God is telling me that I need to take a break and try to focus more on Him before serving in CollUni again. So today, this friend provided me with an amazing analogy. He said that whenever we are serving Him, we need our cup to overflow with the love of God. If we need to be refilled regularly by God just to serve others, then we are not at our full potential with our service. If our service is not with our best ability, then that service wouldn't really be service at all because whenever we are serving, we need to do it with 100% of our ability through God's guidance. Well, I've been pouring out on empty for the last half year or so, and I feel like I need to be made to overflow by God again. I think I need some time to refocus and fill up with God's love and servanthood attitude. I should give more time to think and pray about this before I finalize my decision whether to step down or not.
