Love is the overflow of a heart touched by God

Christian Reflection — “Love is the overflow of a heart touched by God.” 

"Love is the overflow of a heart touched by God." from ray's quote of the day.

We have learned that truth not from a book on leadership or ministry, but from the gentle way God keeps touching the broken places in our hearts. Any love we offer people—any encouragement, any prayer, any hug in a church hallway—doesn’t start with us. It starts with Him.

This is why love is the heart of our ministry. Not because we're naturally good at it, but because God keeps pouring His love into is faster than we can hold it. And when His love fills you, it has to go somewhere. It spills into conversations, into compassion, into the way you listen, care, and show up for people.

Real ministry isn’t about titles, platforms, or big moments. It’s about letting God’s love flow through an ordinary heart in extraordinary ways. When He touches your heart, love becomes the natural overflow. And if that’s all we ever give to people—His love—we'll count our calling well-lived.

In His love,
