Expand My Cup - 11/9/2006 11:16 AM ( #1 )
My Cup Runneth Over
Demian~DreamSinger

My cup runneth over...
  Lord, expand my cup
Expand the cup of my willingness to receive
Deepen the depths of my heart to love
Broaden my mind to ponder your truths
Widen my arms to embrace your life
Strengthen my legs to walk your path
Sharpen my ears to hear your voice
Awaken my eyes to see your presence
Sweeten my tongue to speak with kindness
Temper my pride to listen to others
  Do all these things that I may live with compassion
        Expand the cup of my being

  For your blessings never cease
  Your well never runs dry
        It is I who place limits on your limitless skies

My cup runneth over with all your good...
  Dear Lord, expand my cup

Demian, this is beautiful. I always liked the symbol of a cup, something empty to receive whatever blessings come my way.

Peace and joy!

Oh, thank you for your kind words, Edda, Ann and Lynn! I appreciate it.

This is my greatest challenge, to allow myself to become large enough to accept God's grace and blessings. To remember this especially when I'm faced with lack in whatever area, both physical and nonphysical. And to remember it when my life is full with joy, because it's never greedy to say yes to more of God's love.
