THE CUP THAT OVERFLOWS

Each of us is a vessel, a container --in other words, a cup.

Life teaches us that what any person has to contribute, what we can give away to others, is the overflow from his or her cup.

The challenge each of us faces in this life is to fill our cup “full”-to-overflowing.

This is done through daily renewal of our spiritual life. We can renew our spirit in many different ways such as: bible reading, praying, devotions, praise and worship and many more.

I cannot serve others (--share my "overflow") when my own cup is low or drained.

So that I may be a contributing person to my family and friends and community, I must make the effort to continually fill my cup.

Prayer: Lord help me today and everyday to continually fill my cup so that I may be a blessing to those around me. Help me to keep my cup full so that I will have something to offer when needed. Help me to NOT let my cup go empty... Amen.

We live in such a needy world. People are hurting, struggling, looking and just waiting. Sometimes just an encouraging word can make the difference in someone else’s life. Do not assume that just because they are wearing a big smile on their face that everything is o.k. Sometime behind that smile is a hurting person just looking for that encouragement, that hug, that love.

Enjoy!
