Day 26: The Lord Fills Your Cup



Copyright © 2016 by Michelle Lores
 

 

A cup of coffee

To start your day.

 

The birds are singing.

Oh, that coffee smells great!

 

Two more minutes

And your waffles are done.

 

Now for some quiet time with your Lord

Before you are joined by everyone.

 

This time is so precious—

You could never give it up.

 

For this is the time of day

When the Lord fills your cup.

 

 

“Heavenly Father, thank You for the quiet times when it is just You and me.

 I need You to quiet me and refresh me in Your Word--
and by just being in Your presence every day.

 

When I don’t take that time, I wilt.

 

You have loved me with an everlasting love.

You love the whole world so much that You sent Your only Son, Jesus Christ, to earth so He would die in our place.

We all deserve to die eternally because of our sin—but You have made a way for us to live eternally, be free from the bondage of sin and death, and know You in a very personal and close way through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

You want us to know how deep Your love is for us.  It is greater than any other thing.

Father, show us Your love today, I ask, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

 

What is my cup of SonShine for today?

To slow down and be with my Lord—

And to seek to know how deep His love is for me.

I don’t want to live another minute not living in the knowledge of the depth of His love for me (Ephesians 3:17-19).

 

“Father, reveal to me today how deep Your love is for me, I pray.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

 

Ephesians 3:17-19 (NKJV)

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and heightto know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
