Too Much or Much More? "Hope for the Overbearing"

TOO MUCH

I have a terrible habit. Some call it getting "Carried Away", "Overboard", "Excessive", "Eccentric" .... Some call it just plain old "Ridiculous" or "Overbearing"... But whatever you want to call it, I do need to learn that 'a little goes a long way', and be more balanced and disciplined! .... And, yes there is "Hope for the Overbearing"

I'll give you a few examples of what I mean about being 'too much' or 'overbearing':
When I do college work, if the teacher wants an essay of a few paragraphs, I usually end up writing three pages! When I sew, I want to add more to it, to make it more difficult. When I decide to do a craft, like loom knitting, I want to get all the looms I can get and all the different kinds of yarns I can get. When I did rubber stamping, I became a dealer and filled a whole craft room with rubber stamps and all the paraphernalia that went with it. When I start writing or emailing, I go way overboard.... I remember my one friend Carol, to whom I began to write; she was barraged with cards, books, cassette tapes, stickers, little gifts.... I wrote to her practically every day for 2 years, and I tried to always add something extra for her. I cluttered her life with stuff! I had to back off! I needed to find a balance: when I quit writing extensively, I didn't find the balance; I quit altogether! Oh, we are still in touch, basically through email and a few phone calls...... I'm glad that she put up with and still loves me. (Just think about what I put my poor family through.)

What am I saying?
I need to find balance in my life, in every area!

Nevertheless I found an interesting aspect about God; He knows how to give and do exceedingly and abundantly above.... and when He does it, it's proper. I want to be like my LORD, and have His wisdom in this aspect.

MUCH MORE

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 MUCH MORE then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, MUCH MORE, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement (reconciliation).
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
…..15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, MUCH MORE the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded (given MUCH MORE) unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many (MUCH MORE) offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all (MUCH MORE) men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many (MUCH MORE) be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did MUCH MORE abound: Romans 5:8-20 (KJV)
Because God loved us while we were yet sinners, Christ died, shed his blood and gave his life for us; now we can live a life full of MUCH MORE: love, joy. reconciliation, grace, justification, righteousness, obedience…. A life saved from wrath, and the opposite of death ---Life, …...MUCH MORE
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all (MUCH MORE) that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Eph 3:14-21 (KJV)
The God of GRACE, PEACE & MUCH MORE be with you

7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 1:7 (KJV)25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Heb 12:25 (KJV) 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Heb 10:25 (KJV) 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb 9:13-14 (KJV) 17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly (Much More)to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: Heb 6:17 (KJV)

IS God TOO MUCH or is He MUCH MORE?.......
