What Fills Your Cup

We are what we take in. Maybe not broccoli or iced tea … great fiction or sappy television movies … what we allow in our minds and bodies shapes who we are. Do you hunger for… something important to you? What fills your cup?

What We Seek In Changes

We hunger for changes that match our life’s seasons. When we’re young, we hunger for approval from our parents, then our peers. Later, we seek out success and spend years trying to define our new sought-after desires.

Maybe it’s a big house or fancy cars.

When entering the winter of a person’s life, desires most often change again.

Security. Time to do what they want to do.

What Stays Constant

All Christ-centered lives have at least one thing in common: Christ is first. Friends, houses, and even financial security can change, It isn’t the law in Scripture that makes a person Christ-centered. It’s the hearts of the people living in it. Reducing Christ to a list of rules leads to legalistic Christianity.

 

You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.  Psalms 63:1

 

Help your family see God as loving, approachable, and involved. Include God in your daily conversations in your home Show how seeking and serving God can be fun. Remember, the only way to show it is to do it.

Father, fill my heart with what moves yours. Open my eyes to see what is important to you. Make what fills your cup fill mine.
