My Portion: Finding Contentment in God’s Overflow

The reason that he was happy in the good and in the bad, the reason he was content when he lacked and also when he had, la razón por la cual él estaba contento cuando le faltaba y cuando no le faltaba, is that he understood that contentment is found in the presence of God and not in the absence of difficulties. Es porque el contentamiento eso se encuentra en la presencia de Dios y no fuera de eso. And not in the difficulties. Y no en las dificultades. [00:09:51] (31 seconds)  #ContentmentInGodsPresence

Because Jesus wasn't asking do you have enough, porque Jesús él no le estaba preguntando si tenía suficiente. He was asking what do you have. Él estaba preguntando ¿Qué es lo que tú tienes? Because when you give God what you have, porque cuando tú le das a Dios lo que tú tienes, he is more than faithful to give you what you need. Él es más que fiel de entregarte lo que tú necesitas.

Because of moments of struggle and moments of difficulty, sometimes God is just telling us to chill. Just sit down and relax. You're looking at your limitations. You're looking at the small things you have in your hand. You're looking at the small things you have to offer. You're feeling limited. Sit down and chill and look at what I'm about to do.

All of a sudden what was limited, all of a sudden what was lacking, what the disciples were saying is not enough, Jesus tells them sit back, relax and let me show you what I'm about to do with what we have. Not only did he give them enough to eat, it was more than what they needed. It says that even after they were stuffed and they were not hungry no more, there was so much left over that there were twelve baskets full. [00:24:00] (50 seconds)  #LimitationsDontDefinePortion

That the little that we have, when he is our portion, it's never a small piece. It means the whole. Because it's about being in God's presence. It's about understanding that limitations that we have will never dictate God's power. So not only will his portion be enough for you, but there will be left over and it will overflow.

And if he is our portion then we have it all. And if we break in those moments and understanding that we're weak, that we understand that we're going to fail, what if it's just a moment for us to understand and let him do his work? And to understand that when we get to our limit, then our duty should be okay God, I'm done with what I can do, now it's up to you. [00:29:14] (41 seconds)  #FaithThroughFailure

It reminds us that we can do all things through Christ. He strengthens us. It reminds us that if he is for us, then who can be against us. We got to hold firm in him being our portion, that he will sustain us and he will never let us go. That even though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I fear no death because he is with me. [00:32:33] (43 seconds)  #MoreThanEnough

If he is your portion, then you have more than enough for you and for those around you. Meaning that in your weakness, he is what you are not. He loves us, he loves us. And when we think about the word love, we got to understand that love is not something he does, love is who he is. He multiplies what we surrender. [00:33:17] (43 seconds)  #GodIsLove

Is there anything in your life that you have kept hidden, that you felt it was too small or not enough? Remember that he is your portion. He doesn't just meet the need, he surpasses it. And it's not just barely enough, and it's just not enough, just the right amount. No, it overflows. He gives you more than what you expected. [00:34:00] (45 seconds)  #HiddenNeedsMet
