What’s In My Cup
Message
Supposing you are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. You were asked, “Why did you spill the coffee?” In answer you said “Because someone bumped into me!!!”
Wrong answer. You spilt the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilt tea.
Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out.
It’s easy to fake it until you get rattled.
So we have to ask ourselves… “what’s in my cup?”
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratitude, peace, and humility?
Anger, bitterness, victim mentality, and quitting tendencies?
Life provides the cup. YOU choose how to fill it.
Today, let’s work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness, and love for others.
Prayer Point: Oh Lord God, help me to fill my life with possibility henceforth by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
