The Cup

Is not this day, with its joys, sorrows, smiles, tears, hurts and pleasure; Is not this experience, the moment I am now in; Is not this person; Is not this the cup that You gives me to drink? Is not this cup, this very cup, the one You planned for me from eternity? Drunk to its dregs, is it not the one which glorifies You most, benefits my sister, my brother and most satisfies the deepest thirst of my life? Lord, it is from Your all-wise Hand that I take this cup and drain it with all the gusto of Your life within me. 07.04.08
