The Overflow of Their Cups Fills My Little Bucket


The Wycliffe Handbook of Preaching & Preachers, W. Wiersbe, p. 193

When F. B. Meyer was pastoring Christ Church in London, Charles Spurgeon was preaching at Metropolitan Tabernacle, and G. Campbell Morgan was at Westminster Chapel. Meyer said,

"I find in my own ministry that supposing I pray for my own little flock, &ls;God bless me, God fill my pews, God send me a revival," I miss the blessing; but as I pray for my big brother, Mr. Spurgeon, on the right-hand side of my church, &ls;God bless him'; or my other big brother, Campbell Morgan, on the other side of my church, &ls;God bless him'; I am sure to get a blessing without praying for it, for the overflow of their cups fills my little bucket."
