I imagine the scene in a movie (because really, does anyone ever do this in real life?) where someone is pouring a cup of coffee, and isn’t paying attention, so the cup overflows as the person keeps pouring and pouring. Finally someone notices and rushes to the spill with paper towels to clean up the mess. Or maybe like in real life, when I’ve filled the kids’ cups up too full, so I have to drink a little off the top before giving it to them. That’s how God’s love can be in our lives. Filling us to the brim. Filling us to overflowing. Filling us so that people rush to us to soak up what they can get of God’s love. Filling us so that there is enough extra at the top to drink in before we serve others.
Am I letting God fill me up to overflowing? Or am I so self aware that I won’t allow any spillage? Can I let go long enough to allow God to make a love mess in my life so that it blesses others?
Lord thank you for loving me. Thank you for calling me to love others. I know YOU have enough to go around. Just help me to be an empty vessel willing to overflow with your love.
