Overwhelmed


Overwhelmed

 

 

Somewhere in time, this week, I was feeling overwhelmed. 

I looked up the definition of the word and it means one of two things: To affect someone very strongly, or to have too many things to deal with. When I ponder the word, the too many things to deal with is the definition that comes to mind.

I think we’ve all been there.  We have so many things pulling us in so many directions we don’t even know where to start. 

I find myself more times than not, crying out to God with overwhelmed feelings because I don’t know what to tackle next. 

Have you have been overwhelmed by the presence of God?

It’s not something that happens every day.  Day to day, life is so busy with the mundane that we don’t have time to notice the spectacular.  But if we stop to think about it, God’s love is overwhelming. 

I was hit with the overwhelming feeling of God’s love and I was amazed that the creator of the universe even knew my name. If we really were to stop and think about it, it’s the most wonderful overwhelming feeling there is.

Matthew 10:29-32

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
