Below is a paragraph from the Beth Moore study of Esther that I find really profound so I wanted to share it. I hope I don't get in any copyright trouble for taking this from her book! :)
Christ summons the disillusioned to the paradoxical bliss of spilling life lavishly, sacrificially for the glory of GOD and the good of man. Those with presence of mind and semblance of health are called to pour out the drink offering of their lives until the cup is overturned and every drop of energy slips-perhaps unnoticed, uncelebrated--into the vast ocean of earthly need.
The last imperceptible drop of your well-lived life will sound to the hosts of heaven like a tidal wave hitting the floor of the Grand Canyon.
In effect Christ says, " I'm already great enough for both of us," relieving the willing of their woeful burden. "Just follow me."
Wow, this humbles me and gives a great perspective on priorities!!
