Overflow

In order to love others
you must first love yourself

In order to love yourself
you must first love the Author of love

To be loved by Him,
to receive His perfect love

Receive this love, know this love
be consumed by and crave this love;
through His Word
through intimacy with Him,
in prayer,
and worship

This love is deep, you have to go lower to go higher
This love is a mystery, you have to search it out

But if you seek Him with all your heart,
you will find Him-He promises,
for greater love is none than His

Once your cup is full-with His love,
it is guaranteed to overflow because His love for you
has no limits
it is only from this overflow that you will begin to really love others,
the way Jesus does,
not until then,
work on overflowing...daily.
