Running With A Bucket

Lord I crawled across the barrenness to you with my empty cup 

uncertain in asking any small drop of refreshment. 

If only I had known You better I’d have come running with a bucket. 
~ Nancy Spiegelberg


I encountered this quote this week on a comment left in response to a blogpost
about being stuck in the desert.  

I haven't been able to shake the goodness ever since.

Consider how we shortchange God by imagining ...
He is stingy
He is far
He is unsympathetic
He is disinterested
He is busy


When actually



He is   Lavish
He is nearerthan my next breath

He feels with us and came into humanity for each of us
He created the macro and microcosms and sustains it all

He has nothing but time and love.

                        Let’s come running with our buckets.
