My Cup

In this writing I referred to these scriptures that I would love for you to enjoy along with me:
Proverbs 8:32-35; Psalm 23:5-6; Psalm 59:16-17; I Corinthians 12:9-10



My Cup

The answer.
I'm never enough on my own.
His cup is the answer of how and why my life is possible.
The answer to the person who says to me, "I don't know how you do it."

My Cup

The reason.
Because His cup is full of grace that flows down to mine.
It is simply because of who He is and not because of what comes from me.
Never because I am patient, strong, loving, or super-mom enough on my own.

My Cup

Full of life.
Full of obtained favor from the Lord.
For the one who finds You finds life and finds that favor.
My cup is filled by the blessings of listening, watching and waiting for you.

My Cup

It overflows.  
Pouring over with goodness and mercy.
Full of this gift all of my life that urges me to dwell in Your house.
I will sing songs of Your power and Your mercy early in the morning. 



And when I find myself 
at the corner of brokenness and grace, 
that is when I am at the heart of where you can use me.  
It is when I need to tap into your grace and power the most.  
It is when your power is made completely perfect in my weakness. 
Sometimes nothing that I do seems to work out right and I just feel defeated.
And I need to spend time at Your feet because my cup is just simply too full of me…
You faithfully remind me that I am, in fact, "in over my head." -That I cannot do it  -alone-



You are the only One who can replace emptiness with Your overflowing grace.
You are the Answer. You are the Reason. You are the Life. My cup overflows.
May I honor You by pouring out Your great grace on my little ones today,
and may I honor You by finding the Wisdom in coming back for more
Thank You for filling my cup again, Lord.
