Loving From My Overflow By: A.J
If my cup is not full then I'm not completely loving myself. But when my cup is full I am confident, I am flowing, I am free! How much better would it be when my cup is full and overflowing? How simple it is to love others. From now on if I'm not overflowing, then I cannot love genuinely.
Relationships are draining! Spouses, significant others, family relationships, even some friendships. However, in order to keep from being drained I must learn to love others from my overflow. You know when you get on an airplane, they emphasize the fact that you MUST secure your oxygen face mask before someone else. Guess what sis, if you are not healthy enough to save yourself, or passed out, you can't save nobody else! It is such a beautiful feeling of 100% admiring the person that you are, all parts of you. Every part of what makes you whole. It is also okay to admit sometimes that I only need to stand back and make sure I'm taking care of myself. That is what this season is all about. This season is for you to be able to live in abundance. To recognize your worth a little more and trusting in Divine time. You are worth enough to forgive yourself. Let go of some of those things that keep you in bondage. Flow in your uniqueness.
Loving from my overflow keeps me full. Loving from my overflow also allows for me to set boundaries on people and things that do not pour into my cup. Psalms 23:5 speaks about my cup running over. Meaning I have more than enough. This is key to remaining full. Running over into the lives of others . Running over so that I am never to tired to worship the almighty for all he does in my life. Be Grateful, you do not even know the doors God has opened and closed on your behalf. Be Blessed and Be a Blessing.
Go and be blessed my sisters!
