FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH LOVE

FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH LOVE


Jesus was FILLED to the
BRIM with LOVE=and he EMPTIED
Himself of every LAST DROP of it=
For us


“Rather=he emptied himself-
TAKING the form of a slave
…..........” Philippians 2:7


“Empty” is how we feel
WHEN we are hurt or when
CIRCUMSTANCES take away
Someone or something-
IMPORTANT to us


Jesus CAME to earth EMPTY=
Born in a stable=NOT even a roof
Over his head


He was VOID of all
The divine trappings
That are/were RIGHTLY his
As the SON OF GOD


And empty was how he left
This world=when all of
His FRIENDS and disciples
Ran away


Yet he was FILLED
To the BRIM with LOVE


For each and EVERY ONE of us=
For the whole world=and he LOVED us
UNTIL his dying breath


He was FILED WITH LOVE


“PRAISE be
To his glorious name FOREVER


May the whole earth
Be FILLED with his glory
Amen & Amen” Psalm 72:19


“The earth is FILLED
With your love=LORD
Teach me your decrees” Psalm 119:64”


“BLESSED are those who hunger
And thirst for RIGHTEOUSNESS


For they will be FILLED” Matthew 5:6


Jesus EMPTIED himself of
ALL his love for us
And that is HOW Jesus asks us to be
In relationship to others


To EMPTY ourselves of selfishness=
Of self-importance=and of
OUR NEED to be right


And empty ourselves of the
NEED to take care of
ONLY OURSELVES


We are to BETTER SERVE OTHERS
With everything that we have=for when
We are EMPTY=we are
FILLED WITH LOVE


And we can better SERVE OTHERS=
That is WWJD-what Jesus WOULD DO


“IF we
Are thrown into
The blazing furnace


The God WE SERVE
Is able to DELIVER US
From Your MAJESTY'S hand” Daniel 3:17


“SERVE WHOLEheartedly=as if
You were SERVING the Lord
Not people


Because you KNOW
The Lord will REWARD each one=
For whatever GOOD they do=
Whether they are slave or free” Ephesians 6:7


Lord=WE PRAY=
EMPTY US of everything
But your LOVE and GRACE


Let us BE FILLED to the BRIM by God
With LOVE=to SERVE OTHERS
As your SON Jesus did


In the name of Jesus and HIS MOST LOVING FATHER
