...a cup..filled to overflowing..

... what is it , that makes us fall back into the one huge lie that we have recognized so many times before, why is it that we are thrown by it, as soon as the slightest little rejection comes our way????
If I was the Father, it would frustrate me to an extent I would probably loose hope... ( aren't you glad I am not He?? ;) 
He continues to communicate His unfailing love, 24 / 7 and we love it, we drink it in, we bask in it... only to feel unloved and unworthy because some fallen, sinful person is just that.... a person, not able to love or even just relate in this way...
Why are we even out there looking for that???? We have it here, right here in our relationship with the Lord.. His perfect love, never letting us down, His attention, His acceptance.... all we could ever ask for...
He fills my heart with His love whenever I draw close to Him... then from there I can go out and I have already been satisfied... then I can love those around me, out of the abundance of love HE has for me...never even paying attention how much of this love is coming my way from the people in my life. ... it is so easy then to be humble and consider others more important than ourselves.... oh what a wonderful thing.
 Looking beyond our own lives and getting a glimpse of the bigger picture, the beautiful tapestry that God is weaving...and get that, be a part of it...
This again is proof of the Father's unending love for us, that He let's us have a part in something He could accomplish very well by Himself... 
I am going to have my cup filled to overflowing by Him, who is the author and perfecter of my life... and then I will follow Him wherever He will lead me.. generously sharing Him with those around me.. EXCITING!!!!!!!!!
