Good Morning 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
So Much More Than A Cup of Coffee
Every morning without fail, one of the first things I do is make myself a cup of coffee. Being a creature of habit, I also use the same cup every morning. Without fail, I know the exact settings on the coffee machine to fill the cup to capacity. Recently I went to make my morning cup of coffee and the cup I normally utilize was not available. So I grabbed “old faithful”. This was my previous cup which had served me well over the years. I went to the coffee pot, and selected the settings I would normally utilize to fill my cup. However when I walked back over to the coffee pot there was a huge mess. Spillage. Overflow. Immediately I began to think how fruitless our thoughts are when we are asking for overflow. You see in this instance, as the “cup runneth over”, the end result was “a waste” as all I could do was clean it up and discard it. So I began to question the whole premise of the “overflow”. Then the Holy Spirit revealed to me, it wasn’t in fact an overflow issue I was trying to manage, but instead it was a capacity issue. You see, when my cup was changed and upgraded from “old faithful”, it was a larger capacity cup and could therefore hold more. When I selected the current settings I use to fill the new cup, the old cup just didn’t have the capacity to house the upgraded input. The Holy Spirit showed me, the cups were in fact a reflection of me. You see God has changed my capacity. He has given me an increase in Anointing. He has increased my spiritual vision to see. He has enlarged my heart to heal, and every time “I choose” to stay in the safety of what I know, I create a “mess” because He is not a rescinder of gifts. His outpouring and impartation won’t cease because I won’t operate in the increase. The boldness HE has given me to speak truth to power in love won’t change because I choose to remain silent. He won’t stop sending captives that need to be set free because I choose fear. While “old faithful” has served me well, this is Gods appointed season in my life for greater. And I have to “go with God”.
