OVERFLOW

I love coffee, anytime of the day any season.  It doesn’t have to be cold outside for me to drink it.  I like it strong, hot with a pinch of stevia and a dip of creamer.  I like to fill it to the brim, sometimes even overflowing over the edge. 

Are you overflowing?  What are you overflowing with?  I have found personally that when I am overflowing with Christ I am positive and full of joy, but the flipside to that is when I let the devil take over my thoughts.  When that happens I overflow with negativity and sadness.  So what is it going to be with you?  Are you going to overflow with the joy of Christ or the alternative?

During this Lenten season remember what Jesus did for us, this alone should remind us to have joy.  His sacrifice on the cross gives us the reason to be joyful even in trials.  This doesn’t mean that we are without melancholy moments, however it does mean that we can have peace during these times because of Him.  He has given us the reason to be joyful. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

Start today and be a person that is overflowing with joy for Christ.  Rejoice always and pray continually, giving thanks in all circumstances and you will have no other option than to be joyful!  

Fill yourself to the brim and overflow with joy!
