Overwhelmed??

I usually associate the word overwhelmed with tasks, frustration, grief, busy schedules, expectations, etc...but as I hear this song in this Lenten season, I am reminded of the greatest feeling of being overwhelmed I have ever experienced. Think about these lyrics:

"I delight myself in You..captivated by your beauty, I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed by You. God I run into Your arms, unashamed because of mercy, I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed by You. I know the power of Your cross, forgiven and free, forever you will be my God. 

And all that you have done is so overwhelming."

When I think about the great love He has for ME, I am overwhelmed. My heart overflows with joy knowing that He has taken away my sin through His great sacrifice. He carries all of my burdens, all of my frustrations, all of my grief, all of my failed expectations. He is beautiful, He is wonderful, He is glorious. I want to be overwhelmed if it means that I can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in my midst. Thank you Jesus for loving me and helping me to be unashamed because of Your mercy.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.  John 3:16
