The Bottle

Somewhere, long ago, I heard or read a beautiful thought. That God values our tears. He has a bottle that He uses to catch and save every one. None of them ever gets wasted. Lately I’ve been thinking about what He does with the contents of that bottle. I think I know. He finds people around us who are hurting and in need. He brings them near so we cross paths with them. If we love on them and share who we are, at some point our story will spill over onto them. God takes that bottle, and like the water turned to wine, what pours out onto the lives of these people is blessing. And what a precious, life giving liquid it is. In place of the stinging salt is sweetness. “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” The miracles of Jesus continue every day.
