To fill a glass of water

The metaphor appropriate
timely, as God does
nothing coincidence
part of his plan
when we are open
eyes, hearts open wide
a lesson the simple
God close at hand

To fill a glass of water
a pitcher must be filled
without the drink the thirst
of another cannot be met
the vessel useless
unless it is filled
to share with another
the message of salvation
pouring down from heaven
life evermore
