Overflow Pt.1: Going beyond your limits - Mark Cerfonteyn
from The Rock - Paarl Hosted by The Rock Church
The definition of overflow is to go beyond your limits. When an inflatable pool bursts, the water overflows onto the grass and saturates everything in its path. In life we need to stop seeing ourselves as the pool, that limits the water, but rather as the overflow that spills over. We often live a “limited” life because we focus on what we can’t do instead of what we can. But when we bring God into the equation the limited becomes the limitless and we get to enter into a kingdom that cannot be shaken. In part 1 of our Overflow series we look at overflowing with gratitude. As Christians giving thanks is at our core, we need to remember to give thanks to God in ALL circumstances, not just the good but also the bad. When we look at our circumstances through a lens of gratitude it changes how we view the situation and helps us focus on what we do have instead of what we don’t have. In Philippians 4:4 it says, “Rejoice in the Lord always!” Being grateful involves taking action, giving thanks and praising God for ALL he has done, and this allows us to be whole in Him and invites the presence of God into our lives. The peace of God that surpasses all understanding comes with living a life of gratitude.
