OVERWHELMED

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

One of the definitions for overwhelm in Webster’s Dictionary is “to affect someone very strongly”.  When I think about our Heavenly Father loving me so much that He sent His beloved Son to die on the cross for my sins,  I am overwhelmed and filled with happiness and joy that God loves me so much.

Just when I think I can’t love Him more, He does something that fills me with happiness.  We have a tender loving compassionate Heavenly Father Who loves us so much that He gave us pastors to teach us and guide us.  Pastor, He loves you.  You are very precious to Him and He appreciates your service to Him.

We need to pray for our pastor and encourage our pastor.  Pastors are human and they get tired and discouraged just like we do.  They are on call twenty four hours a day.  Sometimes they get up in the middle of the night to go to the hospital and minister to someone.  Thank God for our pastors.

Heavenly Father, I pray for every pastor who loves You and is spreading the love of Jesus.  Please encourage them and let them know how much You appreciate them.  May they feel Your love for them like they have never felt it before.  Thank You for our pastors.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
