What Overwhelms You?
.........
But seriously what overwhelms you?
Let me throw some things that seem overwhelming to me lately:
-Jesus
This may seem cliche but it's true. Have you truly thought about Jesus and the things that He has asked of you in the last few weeks, years, your entire life? Have you thought about the intense love that will consume you if you let it? Have you ever loved someone so deeply and so urgently that your heart almost breaks with the weight that is that feeling of love? Did you know that Jesus' love for you is even stronger, deeper more unbreakable than the sliver of love and compassion you hold?
...I'm overwhelmed at that thought myself.
I've been overwhelmed by a lot of other things lately:
-Wedding planning
-Wedding Budget
-Wedding Expenses
-Getting Married
-The thought of being married
-Trading in my last name
-Living with a boy
-Support Raising
-Rent
-Car payment
-Helthcare
-Insurance
-Feeding myself
-Physical Therapy costs
...Just to name a few.
1If I speak in tongues of men and angels, but did not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but did not have love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I posses to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11When I was a child I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.-1 Corinthians 13
What is my point? Well... Telling you the truth and that is this:
Wedding planning... Jesus' love is greater
Wedding Budget... Jesus' love is greater
Wedding Expenses... Jesus' love is greater
Getting Married... Jesus' Love is greater
The thought of being married... Jesus' love is greater
Trading in my last name... Jesus' love is greater
Living with a boy... Jesus' love is greater
Support Raising... Jesus' love is greater
Rent... Jesus' love is greater
Car payment... Jesus' love is greater
Healthcare... Jesus' love is greater
Insurance... Jesus' love is greater
Feeding myself... Jesus' love is greater
Physical Therapy costs... Jesus' love is greater
All things dim in the light of Gods love and passion for me... and you. Just felt like I had to remind you of that today.
Jesus... His love is greater.
