I Asked God

April 22, 2010 by Guest Author 7 Comments

I asked God for wisdom,
And He gave me experience.

I asked God for patience,
And He gave me trials.

I asked God for peace,
And He gave me His word.

I asked God for love,
And He gave me the church.

I asked God for goodness,
And He gave me a new heart.

I asked God for forgiveness,
And He gave me Jesus Christ.

I asked God for happiness,
And He gave me you.

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
