The Reward is Great

Our path comes with it's share of hard knocks, dark times, and negative atmospheres. So, sometimes we have to take a breath and remember God's promises. He said we would be persecuted for His name's sake and that following Him would not be easy, for if they hated Him, they will hate us also.

But the reward is great indeed, blessed are those who are persecuted for seeking righteousness. Not just in the after life, but in the here and now as a child of God.

So to quote a song I like...

"The steps we take are no easy road, but the reward is great for those who want to go."

My Cup Runneth Over

It's amazing what God can do for us when we stop creating barriers for ourselves. Once we let go of our Ego and self serving actions, and ask God for guidance and support, our blessings begin to flow like never before.

So instead of looking at life with the old question "Is the cup half empty or is it half full?" You can say "My cup runneth over!"



A couple of references for today's post:

The 23rd Psalm

and the song "Fill My Cup":

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"

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!
