The Small, Empty Cup

So like this little cup I am,
I wonder why I’m here;
My Father knows, so I’ll ask Him,
For He is very near.

“This cup is empty, this cup is small;
What have you planned for me?
How can I be a blessing
When this is all I see?”

“Start where you are, with what you’ve got,”
I thought I heard His voice
“You’ll overflow with blessings
so trust Me and rejoice.”
