It is as we carry the emptied cups of our own inadequacies and failures to the throne of Grace, that God is well-pleased to fill them up to overflowing with His provision. And even as He fills us so, the riches of His grace stand undiminished, as if we’d taken a cup of water from the vast waters of the ocean.
Ephesians 2:7; 2 Corinthians 3:5; Hebrews 4:16; Psalm 23:5
