I know we’ve all heard the phrase, ‘the glass is half full’ or ‘the glass is half empty’, well I saw on a t-shirt that the engineer says that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be, and that mmlph. (no that’s not a typo, my friend Jonathan came up with that one and it is superior to the old boring ‘laugh out loud’). I took it a step further and thought about design optimization, and if all the glasses were optimized for what they are to hold, then the glass will always be full, right?
Well, what if there are really ‘optimized’ glasses? Each one representing a different time in your life. Your glass is supposed to be full, and it is, as long as your holding the right glass. Could it be that sometimes I think I’m ready for a 16oz glass when really I’m at a 10oz point in life? God had blessed me with much, but sometimes I feel like I’m ready for more. So I reach for a taller glass only to feel let down when it is not filled. I need to wait until I’m ready for the taller glass before I try to reach for it. Better yet, rather than reaching, I’ll ask God for whatever sized glass I can handle, and I will take comfort knowing that the glass He gives is the right one, and that it is full.
