Fill Me Up Till I Overflow: A Reflection on Self-Awareness and Spiritual Filling

Are you tired of feeling empty, despite being surrounded by the things that bring you joy? Are you filled with self-doubt, fear, stress, and pride? You're not alone. The song 'Overflow (Live)' by Tasha Cobbs Leonard speaks directly to our struggles, echoing a cry for help: 'Fill me up till I overflow.'

As we navigate life's challenges, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by our own selfish desires, fears, and insecurities. We may find ourselves consumed by our own self-loathing, desperate for control and relief from the turmoil within. But in this moment of emptiness, we're also aware of the weight of our own self-awareness.

The lyrics of 'Overflow (Live)' poignantly capture this paradoxical state: 'I am stuffed with selfishness, with fear, with stress, with rage, with pride... and yet, I am empty.' It's as if we're simultaneously filled to capacity with our own flaws and shortcomings, while also craving spiritual fulfillment.

The song's battle cry - 'Fill me up till I overflow' - becomes a powerful declaration of surrender. We acknowledge our limitations, our brokenness, and our need for something more. In this moment, we recognize that our self-fulfillment is insufficient; we crave the infinite, unconditional love of God.

As we sing along with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, we're reminded that spiritual filling isn't just about receiving relief from our struggles but also about embracing the fullness of life in Christ. It's a call to surrender our selfish desires and exchange them for His presence.

In 'Overflow (Live),' we find solace in the promise of God's abundance: 'I wanna run over with more of you' - not just in our own strength or capabilities, but in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is a song about spiritual overflow, where our emptiness becomes an opportunity for divine filling.

As we echo Tasha Cobbs Leonard's refrain - 'Fill me up till I overflow' - we're reminded that true fulfillment can only be found in surrendering to God's love and presence. It's a reminder that our self-awareness is not the enemy, but rather the catalyst for spiritual growth and transformation.
