Fill My Cup Lord

I am a music lover, as many of you know. I love all types of music. However, I have been ordained to sing gospel music. All music is beautiful in some way but there is nothing like a good hymn. Of course, I was like every other teenager growing up. I thought hymns were boring and only for old people. But one Sunday morning it changed.

I was sitting on the choir stand at Grace Cathedral (my home church) when Pastor started singing this song I had never heard. He said he needed some help and hear comes this lady from the audience. She sang these words "Like the woman at the well, I was seeking for things that could not satisfy. But I heard my precious Jesus saying draw from my well that never runs dry." All of a sudden the atmosphere changed when she got to this chorus " Fill my cup lord. I lift it up lord. Quench this thirsting my soul. Bread of Heaven feed me till I want no more. Here's my cup. Fill it up and make me whole."

The glory of the lord filled the room: Church mothers began to rock back and forth, musicians lifted their hands, babies stopped crying, ministers and evangelist forgot about their titles, the soloist fell to the floor, and worship went forth. I didn't know that a hymn could have so much power. But these words ran deep in to the crevices of the heart. A place where only the healing hand of Jesus can go. Have you ever been there? Have you ever said " Lord if you don't help me, nothing else even matters. Only you can bring me through this."

There's a scripture in Psalm 23 that says "He anoints my head with oil and my cup runneth over." There comes a time in your life when nothing else matters. All you want is that touch from God. When he fills you it's a never ending stream unless you stop the flow. The only person who can stop that flow is you through anger, unforgivness, jealousy, and the like. I don't want anything or anyone to stop God's flow to me. I need him like the dessert needs the rain. I would be crazy right now if it had not been for him. I would have been backsliden and in the clubs, but his grace and mercy kept me. I want the flow to continue in my life.

This song is comforting to me and a prayer I can pray anytime of the day. You can pray this too. You don't have to have a beautiful voice or a recording contract. All he wants is your sincere heart crying out before him. He want to hear you. Not your mother or father. They can't receive your flow. Your flow was made just for you. Try it today or tonight when you go to bed. Ask him to begin to fill you over and over again. That's how I have been able to make it these past few months. Each day I ask the lord to fill my cup. He said in his model prayer "give us this day our daily bread." Therefore I can't worry about tomorrow. All I can do is live today and receive all he has for me today. He will do it. It has worked for me in my life.

Let's Pray: Father in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray that this reader will feel your presence right now even as they read this. I pray that your glory will be manifested in their life and the you will fill their cup with more of you. I pray that you will make them whole and renew their strength. Let them experience more of you in their life. Heal every sick, depressed. and oppressed person reading this right now. We need you God. If you don't help us no one can. Fill marriage cups right now God. Let nothing or no one break up marriages. Fill our spiritual cup and our finacial cup
