Tree Experience

For the last two days, I felt like I was on an incredible high with God. It was amazing, but almost too much. His presence was with me so strongly that I felt like I was bursting - and that began to hurt after a while. I knew better than to ask God to back off for a while, but I wanted to. I felt like I was on a crazy roller-coaster and was ready to get off and calm down again.
Then, last night in church God reminded me that I'm a tree. I'm a medium of His presence. He also reminded me that He would make me able to be poured out for Him. I was like, ok, God better show me who to pour on, quick!
Not an hour later, He did show me who to pour on. For the first time in my life, I felt I had the strength before I needed it, and I wasn't drained after an incredibly intense process. I felt like I had just enough again.
It just made me think - when God overflows the blessing, I need to be looking for who to give it to instead of keeping it for myself or asking God to take it back. Maybe that's why God doesn't bless His people more - He needs them to be trees or it's wasted.
