God is sovereign. God is bigger than my little human mind. He is bigger than my tiny heart. He overwhelms me when He fills me with His Spirit. I am like a thimble being filled by a fire hose. I can't help but be overwhelmed. Even when I choose to look away and follow other things, His overwhelming Spirit captures me again. He brings me to Him and I am redeemed. Lord, give me a bigger cup to hold more of Your Spirit and Love! I know that I can fill it with things of this world and I have done already with my tiny cup, but please give me a bigger cup! I need to be filled by more of Your Grace and Love! At least help me not to empty what you've poured out to me and fill myself up with things of this world.

Writing Exercise
I wrote this today and I liked it so I'm posting it. Tell me if you think this could be the opener to a good story.
3/5/11—Time, depending on the point of view, can pass as fast as a heartbeat or linger for ages like the monoliths of old. Humans have the luxury of fleeting existences. They are like matchsticks, flames that burn brightly, but flicker and die in an instant. Our kind, however, have the soft glow of a fire that one thinks is close to dying but never does. We don't burn as brightly as the humans, sure. But we have been around long enough to know that it is not how bright you burn while you are here that's important, but what catches fire after you've gone.
