Empty Yourself! Part 1

It is of human nature that we like things to be full rather than empty. Ask yourself, who in the right state of mind will want an empty house, an empty bank account, or even an empty stomach? More often than not, we are so caught up with filling every part of our lives full that we forgot about filling ourselves with our very own Creator. And by the time we realized that, we are too full to be filled any further. Isn’t it an irony that people go to church to ask God to fill their cup when their cup is already filled to the brim by worldly cares? That’s the problem with many Christians. They go to church with heavy hearts, with thoughts about tomorrow, with plans for after-church activities, with so many things that there’s no place for God in their hearts. How can God fill your cup when it is already full?

Yes, God wants your life to be full, but do you know that God also wants your life to be empty, especially in His presence? The emptier you are, the more He can fill you. It simpler terms, God wants you to be hungry for Him, so hungry that you want more and more of Him every single day, so hungry that you will never be satisfied with His filling - You just want more! That’s how God wants us to live our lives! Not just hunger for Him on Sundays, on days when we had a fall, on days when we feel that God ain’t there anymore, but hunger for Him on Mondays, Tuesdays, every single day of our lives, on days when things are good, on days when we feel blessed, on days when you are satisfied. That should be our relationship with God – always wanting more of Him because He is all that we ever need!
