my bitter cup ...

.:| Notes from Chuck Swindoll |:.

1. For every disciple there is a purpose to fulfill.
2. For every purpose there is a cup to drink.
3. In every cup there is pain & suffering to endure.
4. Through every pain there is a victory to claim.

John 18:11
Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"

Whew! This is pretty difficult to take. It is often my tendency to fight. Wanting to make it work. Trying to grasp it. To learn. Oh, so hard but if Jesus Christ can do and is with me in whatever cup I am to drink, I can do it. {gulp}

Psalms 16:5-6
LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
