Full-filled

Have you ever had a meal that was so delicious that you kept eating even though you thought you might burst?

Seriously, you couldn't eat even one more bite.

Okay, maybe just one more.

Perhaps that's the same sensation we should strive for when it comes to gratitude.

We should scan our lives and binge on every morsel of God’s blessings until we are full-filled.

Just look around and focus on all the amazing things in your life!

The old you wouldn't have dreamed of this life you have now.

But hey, with God, all things are possible.

We have so much, and I don't just mean stuff.

Thanks to God's relentless, never-ending love, grace, and mercy, we have so much within us.

We must feast on all God has given us and show Him that everything He did for us will not go to waste.

And for the literal love of God, we can't squander one little bit.

God's mercies overflow from us, and we are more than full-filled.  

Therefore, we must share and let that overflow outpour from us.

We cannot hoard all that God has blessed us with.

What's the fun in that?

A delicious meal is meant to be savored and shared; the same goes for God's blessings.

The more you have, the more you can give.

So, give away the love that overflows in your heart.

Give away the forgiveness that filled up all those empty parts within you.

God will replenish you so you can keep giving more and more.

What a beautiful opportunity to share all of this together!

Thank You, God, for this beautiful life you have given us.

Psalm 23:5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil; my cup overflows.

James 1:17

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Psalm 118: 28-29

You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
