Empty? Come Be Filled

God desires to fill His children to overflowing. He has so much to give us if we would allow ourselves to stay empty long enough for Him to fill us. It is so easy, though, to seek to fill ourselves in this difficult world. We attempt to fill with approval, work, obsessive thoughts, control to avoid feelings, food and other substances, and even "spiritual things," How much space are we leaving God to fill? When we stop trying to seek fullness on our own and come to Him as empty vessels, He is able to fill us to overflowing and connect with us on a more intimate level. None of us have anything to offer God in return for His forgiveness and salvation, but what we ALL do have is emptiness. And that's exactly what God wants.
