TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - July 1, 2020

My Cup Overflows

Today is July 01, 2020

Welcome to July and your mid-week!

I believe poetry measures love better than math. I mean, take this from Shakespeare:

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

and compare that to: 

9x-7i>3(3x-7u)

Exactly. Not even close. ;)

Well, if poetry measures love better than math, then how do you measure the love of the Lord? Well, Psalm 42:7 has an answer. In short, God's love is measured by our

sadness.

No matter how empty we may feel, God's love is able to fill us up. In fact, he's able to overflow our cup. 

What Apostle Paul hopes for the church...

Ephesians 3:18-19
[I pray that you] may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

...the author of Psalm 42 experiences.

Deep cries out to deep and is satisfied. The deep of the author's need cries out to the deep of God's fullness and is not left wanting. No matter how desperate or dire, God is able to pout in us hope - overflowing hope - because he loves us that much.

God's blessing and protection upon you and your family and I look forward to worshiping with you on-site or online this Sunday.
