You SEE what you don't have.
And because you SEE what you don't have,
you see LESS,
and you feel LESS,
so you start to LIVE as LESS.
But oh how you want MORE.
So how do you LIVE with MORE in the middle of LESS?
You become LESS!
For when you become LESS
and stop thinking about yourself
and what you don't have
you begin to be FILLED
with "IMMEASURABLY MORE" (Ephesians 3:20)
than you ever
thought you could ever have,
because LESS is the sweet spot of MORE.
How do I know?
Because GOD takes me there.
GOD wants you to become nothing
so you can become HIS SOMETHING.
Sometimes GOD allows the stripping to happen.
Sometimes you do the stripping.
But ultimately, we are to become LESS~
to be emptied of SELF.
so that we can be FILLED
with IMMEASURABLY MORE!
And when JESUS becomes your MORE
you have MORE than you could ever ask for,
because HIS MORE
never runs out.
HIS MORE is like a rushing brook
that turns into
a waterfall with water
that gushes and spills all over the place.
You can’t stop it because
HIS WATER is LIVING.
"But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water [satisfying his thirst for GOD] welling up [continually flowing, bubbling within him] to eternal life" (John 4:14).
Therefore,
when you are LIVING with LESS of what you WANT,
when you FEEL as if all that you LOVE is being stripped away,
there is SOMEONE who is never STRIPPED away.
For HE sits with you
and LISTENS to you,
so that HE can FILL you
with
THE IMMEASURABLY MORE
that
TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING.
Because if you were to look at your
LIFE
on paper of read of what you have LESS of,
you would never think to BELIEVE
that you could ever
BE FILLED.
But how would you ever know if you don't
FOLLOW THE ONE
who
ALWAYS takes you to
THE MORE
that trumps everything.
Oh, do I still crave for what is LESS in my life
that has become a great LOSS?
Oh yes!
Do I still PRAY for the LESS to not be LESS?
Oh yes!
BUT LIVING with LESS is where MORE is found.
Less Doubt, MORE TRUST.
Less Anxiety, MORE PEACE.
Less Despair, MORE JOY.
Less Frustration MORE CONTENTMENT.
Less Loneliness, MORE BELONGING.
Less Bitterness, MORE FORGIVENESS.
Less Rejection, MORE ACCEPTANCE.
Less Hate, MORE LOVE.
Less Pride, MORE HUMILITY.
Less Anger, MORE SELF~CONTROL.
Less Impatience, MORE PATIENCE.
Less Meanness, MORE KINDNESS.
Less Control, MORE GOD.
Less wandering, MORE FOLLOWING.
LESS is the sweet spot of MORE
when you
FOLLOW the ONE who ALWAYS
takes you from LESS to MORE
because
HE is ALWAYS THE MORE.
"I'm a witness to YOUR faithfulness
In every storm, in every step.
Looking back never once did YOU let me go.
And no matter what the future holds.
You'll work it for my good I know.
YOU are faithful.
And I
NEVER WALK ALONE"
(listen to the song below)
