Words of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 7 Dec 2009

Empty promises-fill our empty cup

What are we filling our empty cups with? The seasons of life is constantly changing. One moment we are filled with fire, zeal, passion, and energy; the next we are down, drained, exhausted, and tired. Despite these ever changing seasons in life, we need to remain constant, steadfast, and focused on the prize.

Steadfast faith is our challenge for today and the rest of our lives. Despite the changing weather and seasons, we must remain steadfast. Right now God is going to restore and fill our cups with everlasting love. We are going to be renewed and most of all we are going to have an intimate relationship with our Father.

We need to stop filling our empty cups with empty promises that are not from God. God fills our cups with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. God fills our cups with unfailing love even when we are at our darkest hours.

Right now what are we filling our cups with? Are we filling our cups with false love? Lies? Gossip? Anger? Impatience? Greed? Are we seeking ungodly relationships to comfort our loneliness? Are we filling our cups with excuses to cover our sins? When we fill our cups with empty promises and everything that is not from God, we are literally pouring acid into our cups.

As children of God we have our makers unconditional love that we can always go to when our cup is dry. We have the ability to let God carry our yoke for His burden is light.

Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
