Pitchers & Cups

Pitchers and Cups
By:  Sima Clark Torian, SimaSpeaks Enterprises

During these unprecedented times, healers are in high demand.  Many people are struggling to simply survive, to make it from day to day.  Stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma are at an all time high.  Healers have been called to the front lines.  Doctors, nurses, coaches, mentors, counselors, and social workers are all on high alert.  After all, it is your calling to assist in healing and human well-being. I know, it is a heavy load.  As a healer myself, often, I find myself overwhelmed with the very thing that I am gifted to do.  Yes, it feels like a blessing and a curse, all at the same time.  It is a heavy calling to have healing hearts and hands.  

That is why God chose you!  He knew that if anyone could carry it, you could.  I want you to imagine yourself as a pitcher.  Pitchers pour into cups.  That is your calling.  You are called to pour into cups.  That is your life’s work……. filling up empty cups.  But what happens when your pitcher is empty?  Rarely, do you see a cup pouring into a pitcher.  As a matter of fact, in many cases, if we were privy to witness someone pouring from a cup back into a pitcher, we would view this as a total violation of decorum.  So, as it is with healers.   

When you pitcher is empty, you want to see that you find other pitchers to fill your pitcher.  First, we must rely upon each other.  Each night, before I lay down to sleep, I ask God to fill me up for the coming day.   And each morning when I wake, I make it part of my morning routine to take time to meditate and pray to align myself back to my calling.  Healers, it is imperative that we refill each day!  You do not know what the next day shall bring.  It just may be your day to pour back into a pitcher. And, we must be ready!

Let us pray!  God, you are the ultimate pitcher that pours into cups.  Your Word declares that Your grace is sufficient and in our weakness is where Your strength is perfected.  You desire to fill us for the call of each day. Help us to be ready to fill cups and/or to pour into other healers who need refilling.  

Amen!
