Fill Me Lord

Here is a word picture for you. Imagine
that you are a large glass measuring cup.
Your purpose is to be filled to the brim.
If you are only partially filled you would
feel empty and would desire to be filled
all the way because that is why you were
created.
We are created with the same desire to
be filled but our deep down desire is to
be filled with the Spirit of God. If we are
running low we tend to fill up on other
things. We can fill up on things like:
  • Shopping
  • Eating
  • Drugs
  • Alcohol
  • Relationships we should not be in.
  • Entertainment
  • Fantasy (like books)
  • Work


Plus many more. What is it for you? The truth
is we can only fill ourselves up with the Lord.
When we try to put anything else in it will never
satisfy us no matter what. No one and nothing
can take the place of God in you life. Everyone
and everything in this life will only disappoint
you. Nothing can satisfy you like Jesus Christ.
So take time today to be filled with His Holy
presence.
Thank you Father for filling us with your
Spirit. You alone are worthy of our praise!

Believe God,

Jamie

Woman's Retreat

Last weekend I went to a wonderful retreat.
It featured Beth Moore, who is one of my
favorite woman of God, on DVD. Beth taught
about God's Measureless Love and that was
awesome but the best part were the woman
I was there with.
There is nothing like getting together with a
group of woman and worshipping our God.
The crying out of our hearts to a God whom
none can compare. Our voices in one accord
singing praises to our King was very moving
and filled with emotions.
In looking across the room and seeing woman
who didn't even know each other and were in
prayer together praying for each others needs.
It was truely amazing.
It will be a weekend I will never forget. God is
faithful and He alone deserves our praise. Thank
you Father for showing up and loving us with
Your Measureless Love.
