These words come from the well known Psalm 23 that starts with: The Lord is my Shepherd
From this Psalm we know that our Shepherd Jesus:

takes care of us everyday; guides us along the right paths; were willing to lay down His life for His sheep; gives us everything that we need; are close beside us - always; leads us to a quiet place where we can rest and be refreshed and renewed; protects us; comforts us; heals us; pours out His goodness and unfailing love on us, over and over again.

THE CUP OF SORROWS

When Jesus died on the cross, He emptied the cup of sorrows, the cup of suffering, in our place. In Matt 26:39 He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane: My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering from Me. Yet, not what I want, but what You want. He drank the cup of suffering and pain to the end, and died with the words: It is finished (John 19:30).

.THE CUP OF SUFFERING IS TURNED INTO A CUP OF BLESSING

By His grace and through His faithfulness, Christ has turned that cup of suffering into a cup of blessing, which now overflows for each and every one of us.

We know for sure that our grief is turned into wonderful joy; we rejoice and no one can rob us from that joy (John 16:20) ... our cup is overflowing with blessings! You have changed my sadness into a joyful dance; You have taken away my sorrow and surrounded me with joy. (Ps 30:11); Tears may flow in the night, but joy comes in the morning. (Ps 30:5)

We receive from Him: flowers in place of sorrow, olive oil in place of tears, and joyous praise in place of broken hearts; a crown of beauty in place of ashes, joyous blessing in place of mourning. (see Isa 61:3)

THE CUP OF ABUNDANCE

Jesus said, I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly (John 10:10). That is a cup running over with Gods grace. Jesus gives us Himself (John 14:6). He IS this abundant life for us.

My cup overflows, means it is not just full; it is running over, filled to the brim and overflowing. Gods saving grace is always like that. His grace is always in fullness, abundance and all-sufficiency. We are drenched with His goodness and that should satisfy us completely.

THE EMPTY CUP

Maybe the cup of your life is still filled with anger, resentment, unforgiveness or bitterness. Perhaps there are only rejection, abuse, feelings of worthlessness or guilt in your cup.

Come to Jesus today, and empty your cup before Him, pile everything on Him. Take this invitation seriously and turn everything over to Him:

Come to Me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light. (Matt 11:28-30); Putting all your troubles on Him, for He takes care of you. (1Pet 5:7)

Empty your cup, so that God can fill it with His blessings of love and grace.

THE CLEAN CUP

You clean the outside of your cup and plate, while the inside is full of what you have gotten by violence and selfishness Clean what is inside the cup first, and then the outside will be clean too! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but are full of bones and decaying corpses on the inside. In the same way, on the outside you appear good to everybody, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and sins. (Matt 23:25-28)

If you are in a place in your life where you know that your cup is stained by sin, by bad choices, by wrongdoings and double standards, you must bring your cup to Jesus. He will wash, purify and remove all stains from your lifes cup:

Be merciful to me, O God, because of Your constant love. Because of Your great mercy wipe away my sins! Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin! (Ps 51:1-2); Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. (Ps 51:7); Hide Your face from my sins, and wipe out all that I have done wrong. Create a clean heart in me, O God, and renew a faithful spirit within me. (Ps 51:9-10)

THE CUP OF BLESSING

Through Christ, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing that heaven has to offer. (Eph 1:3) my cup brims with blessing!

The spiritual blessings that we receive in Christ are not just temporary things like health and wealth; it is the blessing to be adopted as His child, the blessing to be cleansed from sin, the blessing to receive the gift of eternal life, the blessing to receive the Holy Spirit and the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, the blessing to receive His love and grace abundantly and the knowledge and understanding that nothing will separate you from His love.

THE CUP THAT WILL NEVER RUN DRY

If your cup is overflowing, you will want more of the Lord in your life:

God, you're my God! I can't get enough of you! I've worked up such hunger and thirst for God .. (Ps 63:1);

The wonderful thing is that your cup will never run dry. All you have to do is come and fill your cup and drink:
