Do you remember the song “Fill My Cup Lord”?  My first recollection of that song was in Lewisville, AR at a church my dad pastored.  The words and music are by Richard Blanshard.

Like the woman at the well I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy:
And then I heard my Savior speaking:
“Draw from my well that never shall run dry”.

• Chorus
  Fill my cup Lord,
  I lift it up, Lord!
  Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
  Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more
  Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
  There are millions in this world who are craving
  The pleasures earthly things afford;
  But none can match the wondrous treasure
  That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.
• Chorus
  Fill my cup Lord,
  I lift it up, Lord!
  Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
  Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more
  Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
  Is your life like a beautiful, delicate glass but you find it empty?  This dear lady the song is about met up with the Living Water.  In John 4 you read about a lady who was searching for something or somebody.  She didn’t even realize herself what was missing.
  She was searching for something or somebody to fill the void in her heart.  That empty, lonely place in her heart.
  Wanting to feel cared for, secure, loved, wanted, and just trying to survive in life,  she went through five husbands.   Jesus told her the man she was presently living with was not her  husband.
  Then, here she stood at the well beside Jesus.  JESUS  - that Living Water.   In verse 14 (from The Message Bible) Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.”
  Her spirit just seemed to leap within her.  She got excited realizing she’d found what she’d been searching for!   The divine meeting she had with Jesus that day changed her life forever.  She was never the same after that.
  One encounter with Jesus and the pain, emptiness, loneliness, broken hearts, disappointments, hurts seemed to all grow dim.  Something came alive on the inside of her.  Jesus is life!
  Today, if you find yourself like the woman at the well, please remember that Jesus loves you.  He has passion and compassion for  YOU.   You’re His creation and you’re very dear to Him.
  Jesus died on the cross for you.  The Bible says  that the thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy.  But JESUS came to give you life more abundantly!  A beautiful life full of hope and a good future.  He did all of that on the cross for you.  The most significant thing is that He rose up out of the grave on the third day!!  HE GOT UP!
  We celebrate Resurrection Day this weekend.  Take your empty cup, hold it up to Him and tell Him – Fill my cup Lord!  Fill me full to overflowing.  What happens when a cup overflows?  Whatever is in that cup flows out to the people around you.  Your husband, children, parents, friends, family.
  
  Happy Resurrection Day!!
