God is like coffee

While at the Alpha weekend away, our discussion of the Holy Spirit led to this analogy: His empowerment is like coffee and I'm like a cup. Sometimes the coffee slops out if I'm not careful, sometimes, I drink it, sometimes I share it, sometimes I choose to toss it out. Just like my coffee cup needs refilling, I need refilling of the Holy Spirit's power. I'm glad He's got more in  reserve than even Starbuck's.
