No Shortage of Love – Receiving, Increasing, and Overflowing in God’s Love

"May the Lord increase your love to the point of overflow for one another each and for everyone just as ours does for you." – 1 Thessalonians 3:12

   Love embodies the perfect kingdom principle the very core of divine balance, prayer, and prosperity. There is no shortage of love because God is love. To believe that love is lacking would mean believing that God is lacking, which is impossible. Every person, every living creature, and all of creation have access to an infinite supply of God’s love. It may come from unexpected places and people, but it remains ever-abundant. The challenge lies in opening our hearts to receive it without rejecting it due to our own expectations or limitations.

   1. Receive Love. Love often arrives in ways different from what we imagine. It may come from family, friends, neighbors, or even strangers outside our immediate circle. For example, there are times when we fail to recognize love because it does not look like what we expected. Rejecting love whether from a parent, a step-parent, or another source can blind us to the abundance already present. To truly experience God’s limitless love, we must release rejection and open ourselves fully to receive.

   2. Increase in Love. When we receive God’s perfect, unconditional, and everlasting love, it begins to grow within us. Love cannot multiply where it has not first been welcomed. As our awareness of God’s love expands, so does our capacity to love ourselves and others. Many people feel a shortage of love because they are waiting for it to come only in one form. But when we open our hearts to the many ways God sends love, we find that it increases continuously.

   3. Overflow in Love. Once love has been received and multiplied within, it naturally overflows. This overflow enables us to love generously family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and even those we once saw as adversaries. Abundant love breaks the chains of envy, jealousy, bitterness, and resentment. It embraces every person, regardless of age, race, gender, or background. To live in the overflow is to live in joy, grace, and freedom, extending God’s tangible love to all.

   In conclusion, there is no shortage of love because there is no shortage of God. His love is present and abundant in every moment, flowing through people and circumstances, often in unexpected forms. As we receive, increase, and overflow in love, we align ourselves with the perfection of God’s kingdom. This path brings harmony, peace, and prosperity not only into our own lives but also into the lives of those around us.

📖 Reflection: Am I open to receiving God’s love from unexpected sources and allowing it to increase within me?

💡 Action Step: This week, intentionally receive love with gratitude, increase it through prayer and reflection, and look for one way to overflow in love toward someone else.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
