As we work through our series "Overwhelmed" here are some thoughts...
God gives to us his love and blessing so that we can be a blessing to others. We can overcome being overwhelmed, protect ourselves from being overwhelmed by getting our priorities straight, and overcome family frustrations only through God's power in our life through Jesus.
But this is not only so we can enjoy the life God intends. The life God intends does not stop at us just "feeling" peace, having joy, or achieving balance. That is only part of it. We receive these things from God so we can be a blessing to others. The intention for our lives as it is laid out in the Bible is that we would receive abundant life. We receive this life most abundantly not only when we are filled but when we are dispensers of love, forgiveness, and hope to others. We are blessed to be a blessing to others.
