Having a tough day?

A tough week?

Perhaps a tough month...

 

Is your one more "one more" bucket empty? It happens. Always when your resentment bucket fills, your forgiveness bucket empties.

 

They come. Needing. Wanting. Asking, one more of you.

 

They never offer to give back. They take, take, take... Slowly your "one more" bucket empties. No, here you go refills. No... "I want you to have this replenishers" coming by your bucket today for you. No siree. Only the joy stealers, the bottom dwellers and the needy Neelys coming by your bucket of help. Sucking it dry.

 

If only... Just one more. If you had one more... "one more" to give.

Not today. Ain't going to happen. Your one more bucket is empty. You look in your bucket, only to see the empty bottom staring back at you.

 

You break down. The tears flow. The desperation fills your heart. Now is the time you feel it in your heart. No where to turn, No where to go, no more "one more" to save you today. Not in your bucket.

 

Look over there. Those other buckets are full. The resentment bucket? Overflowing.

How did that happen?

Where did all of that come from?

Who filled those worthless buckets?

 

Kick your resentment bucket. All the way over. Let those horrible

Feelings of bitterness flow out on the ground.

 

Go ahead.

Kick it!

Empty that pail of hate. Your miniature dumpster full of bad feelings. Today is the day to take out your resentment.

 

Give it all to God.  He's the maker of the deepest seas. He will take

Your pain, your hurt, your stored up feelings of resentment. HE has a

Place for them in the ocean of despair. It's bottomless. Deeper than

Space. Bigger than the universe.

Send those ugly feelings where they belong.

Gone.

Long gone.

Forgotten.

Forever!

God is waiting for you. HE's got a heaven full of "one mores" for your

Empty bucket. Ask. He will refill your "one more" bucket for you. Over

Flow your bucket with hope, forgiveness and love.

Then the fun begins. HE takes your empty heart and fills it with the

Greatest love in the universe.

HIS!

An unlimited resource of hope.

God is not limited by the sides of a metal pail. HIS buckets know no

Boundaries. HIS rubber hose flows non-stop. Just ask, HE will point

That endless supply toward your bucket.

 

What once held black emptiness of Hate, now holds the bright white of

Joy. Your "one more" bucket...

Overflowing.
