The Overflow

When I'm running low..

when's the last time your phone was on 10%? 




"I just don't feel anything" she stated. 
"I mean I know you're not going to always feel love, but I just feel... nothing right now." 

Her words hesitantly left her mouth, but lingered in her heart. As she recounted the love that was once bubbling up in heart. 
Was it my unclean mouth, or the fears that I keep listening to the reason why I'm feeling so 

empty? 

Or maybe it's the constant fillers I put in my life unknowing through Instagram, and Facebook. Neglecting to stay in the present, constantly being bombarded by trend, opinions, and overload. 

Slowly putting back up my protectant shield abasing the One who really loves me, and has my back. 

Or is it the trash I have allowed to enter into my ears?
thinking it will do no harm but only leading me to critical, suspicious thoughts of others while I still remain without the answers so solve their problems. 
NO. 
No matter what it is, God still remains faithful, He still fills my cup back again, and and brings peace to the places in my heart the no one knows about.

You see, the heart of my Father is kind, He's always extending Himself to me. 
The heart of my Father is gentle, gently whispering to my heart that I am the beloved, and I can trust Him. 

So when I'm feeling empty, and don't "feel" Him, I can rest assure that He knows me. Like the Psalmist David says, 

Psalm 23
The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd.[b]
    I always have more than enough.
He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love.[c]
    His tracks take me to an oasis of peace, the quiet brook of bliss.
That’s where he restores and revives my life.[d]
    He opens before me pathways to God’s pleasure
    and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness[e]
    so that I can bring honor to his name.


This is the overflow, knowing Gods heart and resting in it.
