Couple of Things-So Excited

Posted on by

I was really on a roll with this vlog thing and having a blast recording my thoughts. But, it is a no-go today. I am laid up today with a back muscle spasm and not looking too cute to record a video. Isn’t it terrible how pride gets in the way…well, that and the fact that I’m in pain would not make for a good devotion! Prayers appreciated.

So…
In the meantime, I wanted to let you know about a great new book out by a new friend of mine, Sarah Cunningham. I will be a part of her official Blog Tour-so excited! Here is some info about her new book and I know you will definitely want to check it out!

Stay tuned for my review to be posted on Feb 18th.

Since I am in no condition type a devotion either, I wanted to keep up the momentum of posting and repost a devo from last year. Since it is now February-can you believe it?-and the air is filled with love, here is my post from last year’s Valentine’s Day.

Jesus, Fill My Cup
On this Valentine’s Day I have been meditating on the concept of being satisfied. This is a quest of just about everyone, myself included. We have this need of our “cup” to be filled and often go to our spouse, friends or children to have that cup filled.

Here is the problem: no human can totally meet every need of ours. Our spiritual, emotional, physical and mental needs are so vast and so very complicated. Can anyone in our life really figure out how to fill that cup of ours in the very way we need them too? This is why we get frustrated with our husband or search for other ways to be fulfilled. Think about it, if that other person is trying to have their cup filled, there is no way on earth that they have enough “resources” to fill your cup too! I hope this makes since.

Here’s the solution: Let JESUS fill your cup. Let Him meet your needs. Let Him give you the love, peace, joy, happiness and fulfillment that you crave. He is the only one who knows the very depths of your being. So, it makes since that He is the only one who can give you what you need, at the very moment you need it, in the amount that you need.

John 10:10 says, “…I have come that they may have life and have it ABUNDANTLY.”

When we let Christ give us life abundantly, He fills our cup to overflowing. We have abundant love, joy, happiness, satisfaction and peace. Then, when our loved ones add to our cup, it is like icing on the cake. It is a joyous extra. It is like that extra whipped cream on your coffee. Because we don’t depend on them to meet every need, when they do, it is such a blessing.

Whether you are married or single, take the burden off yourself and your loved ones to fill the cup. Let Christ give it to you in Abundance.

Let HIM be your Valentine EVERY day.
