Getting Past Where You Are ...... So That Your Overflow Can Be The Love Of God Instead Of The Pain Of Your Past

How do you get past where you are?   Past the hurt?   Past the pain?   Past the loneliness?   How do you get to the place of just knowing that God is with you?   Knowing that it's going to be okay?    That's what God wants.   He wants you past it all.    He wants you positioned for Him.   Positioned so that you can receive His goodness, His grace, and His mercy.   Positioned to know that He has you.   So that you can know that you can let go of it all.    The people, the places, the things that cause you pain and distress.  The things that you are allowing to dictate who you are and what you are able to receive in life.     It's time to take inventory.   It's time to get rid of some things that are holding you back from receiving God's best for your life.   

Do you realize that sometimes it's just a thought that is holding you back from receiving God's best in your life.   A mindset that limits God's movement in your life.   How do you see God?   Do you see Him as Healer, Deliverer, Provider, and Friend.   Do you put Him in the #1 position in your life?   Where He takes priority in everything that you do and everything that you say?

Sometimes it is our past that is holding us back from receiving God's best.   How often do we let our past dictate our future?   Based on something we did or something someone else did to us in the past.....we make a choice to respond how we handle future relationships and endeavors.   That's not God.     That's not God.  That is us allowing a past hurt or past failure to take control of our lives.   We allow these things to control how we think, how we feel, how we act, and how we react.   We base relationships on how someone else treated us or mistreated us.    So instead of being God controlled .... we are controlled by our past.    It's time to let go.    It's time to do it God's way.   Time to totally surrender all that we are and all that we do to Him.

Look at yourself as a container that can only hold so much.   Once full.....you have to empty out what is inside in order to accommodate something else.   If you don't empty out what is in there.....everything begins to overflow.    All the hurt, all the pain, all the anger.....comes out when you try to put something else in.     It's time to empty our vessel.   To let go of all the things that are not lining up with God's word in your life.   All the negatives that are currently dictating  your emotions and your reactions.   Refill on God's word and His promises.   So that when you begin to overflow.....the love of God will be the only thing that people see come out of you.   

Trust God today.   Push past where you are by getting into His word and praying for His help.    Get to the place of rest.   Where you are so consumed and full of who He is that the only thing you can do is rest in His presence.
