quoted to perfection

Christ summons the disillusioned to the paradoxical bliss

of spilling life lavishly, sacrificially for the glory of God & the good of man.

Those with presence of mind & semblance of health are called to pour out

the drink offering of their lives until the cup is overturned

and every drop of energy slips - perhaps unnoticed, uncelebrated -

into the vast ocean of earthly need.

- Beth Moore
