The Glass is Always Full



It is a wonderful day that we get to share today.  God is making a way for you, and He knows what you are going through.  Know that God is with you no matter what the situation looks like and no matter what people think.  Understand that there is a blessing in the midst of your storm. Understand that God develops His best pictures in a dark room.  Understand that God is at His strongest when you are at your weakest!  If you understand these things then you  will know without a doubt that it is a wonderful day today!

Good day to you all!  The point of it all, is that God loves you!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

We have all heard the question asked, “Is the glass have empty, or is the glass half full?”. I have pondered this question on occasion myself and I have always seen the glass as half full.  What may seem like a bad situation is just the eve of a good situation. A hard beginning is just the set up for a great ending.  The credits never roll on the exciting part of the movie. The bigger they are the harder they fall. I try to look at the bright side, but it can be difficult at times.  Especially when the water is removed from the glass.  The glass used to be full of water and now half of that water is gone.  I used to have a good job, but since I lost that job, I feel like half the person I used to be.  I used to have a beautiful relationship, but now that they left me, I only feel half full.  I used to have dreams, but my dreams have evaporated like water, and not my cup that used to be full is now half empty. My cup no longer runs over.  It is easy to see the cup as being half empty.  It is easy to see the cup as being half full.

Dear Reader I want to hit you with a technicality today.  I want to let you know that technically, the cup is always full.  Understand that when the water goes out of the cup, it is only half full of water.  However when the water which you can see goes out, the air that you can’t see comes in.  Without the air pressure that comes into the glass the water that you can see would just float away.  Dear Reader you may have lost a job that you can see, but there is a God that you can see that is holding you down.  You may have lost the relationship that you can see, but God wants you to get closer to Him so that He can hold you down even though you can’t see Him. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t meant that it is not there.  Dear Reader I am here to tell you today  that when  you have a relationship with God, your glass is always full.  As a matter of fact, when you seek God, your glass is always running over.  People may look at your glass and think that you don’t have enough.  There are those who will look at your glass and tell you that you “almost” made it. Dear Reader you have everything that you need.  There is no need to worry, because even though you can’t see it, your glass is always full. You have worried long enough, and you have shed enough tears.  Your weeping has endured through a very long night, but Dear Reader your sun is rising and joy comes in the morning .

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed

John Reed
