Overflowing Love: A One Breath Prayer Devotional
Reflections on an Overflowing Heart
Imagine you’re standing in a bustling coffee shop, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloping you. Suddenly, you overhear a conversation that strikes a chord in your heart: "I just want to feel God’s love overflowing in my life." The sentiment is relatable, isn’t it? Life can sometimes feel like a whirlwind, leaving us disconnected from the love that fuels us. This is where the concept of the "One Breath Prayer" comes in—an intimate and simple approach to connecting with God in the rush of our daily lives.
In just the breath it takes to utter these three words, "Overflowing Love, Lord," we can align ourselves with God’s heart for us. These words become a sweet reminder—a lifeline—inviting us to experience His love to the fullest.
Understanding “Overflowing Love”
The idea of "overflowing love" is beautifully depicted in Psalm 23:5 (ESV), which states, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”
Just imagine your cup, overflowing with goodness, mercy, and grace. When we embrace God’s overflowing love, we begin to see life through His eyes—a lens colored with kindness, acceptance, and incredible strength.
