Fill My Cup Lord

The other night at our Bridge Ministry, a friend and I went over to talk with one of our guests. Here is how a portion of that conversation played out with him. . .

Do you believe?

 

I believe in God but not in Jesus?

 

How do you believe in God but not Jesus?

 

Just look at this wonderful, magical world. There has to be a Creator behind it.

 

If you can believe in God, why can you not believe in Jesus?

 

There are just too many holes in that one.

 

The Word of God is what I base my beliefs on. What do you base your beliefs on?

 

I do my research to find the truth.

 

And where is that research?

 

On the internet and books.

 

And you believe everything you read on the internet and books but not the Bible.

 

There are just too many holes in that book.

***********************************************************************************

The conversation went on for a little while longer, but it seemed apparent that he didn't want to hear the truth. I have found over the years that when a person does not want to change their way of living, there is nothing you can say that will change their thoughts.  But God can!  And we pray for him that his cup will be filled with the One and only Truth, Jesus Christ.

I was reminded of a song my mother and I used to sing all the time. The name of it. . .  Fill My Cup.
Here are the words. . .

Like the woman at the well I was seeking for things that could not satisfy.

And then I heard my Savior speaking, Draw from my well that never shall run dry.

 

There are millions in this world who are craving the pleasure earthly things afford.

But none can match the wondrous treasure that I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.

 

So, my brother, if the things this world gave you leave hungers that won't pass away. My blessed Lord will come and save you, if you kneel to Him and humbly pray.

 

Chorus:

 

Fill my cup Lord

I lift it up Lord

Come and quench this thirsting of my soul.

Bread of heaven

feed me till I want no more,

Fill my cup,

fill it up and make me whole.
**********************************************************

 

I pray for this man to lift his cup full of holes.

Only Jesus Christ can fill a cup with holes and keep it full and make the holder of the cup whole.

 

 

I have people in my life who are holding cups with holes. I bet you know someone too.  Let's pray for these dear ones.

 

Dear Heavenly Father,

We lift up these precious ones who cups are not full because they are holding on to ones that are full of holes. They try to fill them up with things that just drain right out and keep the precious one feeling empty. Lord, use us to help them see the holes and may they come to see that You are the only one, the HOLY One who can fill their cups and make them WHOLE. Thank you Father!

 

We pray in the precious Holy Name of Jesus,

Amen
