Meditate on the act of someone pouring refreshing purified water from a pitcher into several different drinking glasses.

What are differing factors that might keep you from being a life-giving vessels to others?

Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference:
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love. 2 John 3
Dear Lord God,
You have poured out your grace, mercy, peace, truth and love through your Son; and we have access to all these things, at all times, through your abiding Spirit. Thank you! May we daily live within this abundance. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
