Bumped

Into every life a little rain must fall. When that happens, do we look for rainbows and silver linings or do we slosh through puddles with faces that match our umbrellas? Jesus said, "Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." What are we filling our hearts with? Are we filling them until they overflow? What will spill out when we get "bumped"?

Filling our hearts
  • "Let the light of your face shine on us, O LORD.
    You have filled my heart with greater joy..." - Psalm 4:6-7
Overflow
  • "Out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." - Luke 6:45
Getting Bumped
  • "If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also." - Luke 6:28
