Overflowing.
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" But this He spoke of the Spirit. John 7:37-39a
Overflow is a radical thing. Rivers of living water flowing out of you means you are filled beyond capacity. God has called us to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to overflow with refreshing for others. As you meditate on these scriptures, trust God for the overflow in your life so you can minister to people.
• Overflowing Grace
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Romans 5:15 NIV
• Overflowing Hope
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 NIV
• Overflowing Comfort
For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 2 Corinthians 1:5 NIV
• Overflowing Thanksgiving
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 4:15 NIV
• Overflowing Joy
So that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me. Philippians 1:26 NIV
• Overflowing Love
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 1 Thessalonians 3:12 NIV
