Perhaps this has happened to you…
Have you ever been walking along with your cup of coffee and someone bumps into you and your coffee is spilled? You spilled coffee because that is what was in your cup. If you had tea, you would have spilled tea. The point is: what’s in the cup is what spills out.
Jesus asks us today what spills out of us when we are hurt or angry. Do we let out love, patience, and words; or do we curse, yell, and get angry? Each of us has the freedom to choose what will spill out of our cup of life when unfortunate things happen. Do we fill our cups with positivity? Do we encourage our families do to the same?
Fill us with compassion, God. Help us to be patient and fill our cups with Your love and wisdom.
