O Empty Cup


O empty cup, which way will you turn?
Filled by the world, it's dainties they do burn.
Filled by the flesh, fading strength, failing self will.
Filled by the academies with it's ivory and swill.
Or filled by God in His grace meeting your needs?
Filling you with peace, granting life, and everlasting deeds..



John 4:13-14 (NASB) Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

crossnote; Beautiful poem!

A short yet a strongly put together poem about how this world affects us! This is the reason why Jesus Christ needs to empty us from everything we have gotten filled up with from this world, from the time we are born till we grow up! A lot of the influences which aren't His, and which have polluted our minds and charachters.

I'll take a cup of peace, please. With a few dashes of Joy mixed in.
Great poem!

When you experience God's peace you will automatically get filled up with His joy as well!

Philippians 4:7

"and ", the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

His peace does truly surpasses over anything, which cannot be compared to the peace which is in the world.
