John 1:16 (NASB) For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
Refuse to be self-absorbed or empty. Pursue God’s fullness not empty things or people for this fulfillment, and you will never be empty. In order to pour out His true love, a person must be full of God’s love. Receive His fullness, for in God we lack nothing. Pray for loved ones who may be experiencing lack and who are in need of hope and fullness of God’s supernatural love.
