Have you ever felt spiritually empty? You think you are running on empty, and you can not go on anymore. The temptations in such seasons of despair are either to hide away or to give up. But neither isolation nor desolation is the answer. We need to recognize that some of life's most significant learning moments can occur when we are at the end of our rope. When we arrive at the end of our capabilities, we find the beginning of His. God delights in filling empty vessels. He loves to pour His Spirit into those who have poured themselves out on Him and others. Indeed self-emptying is the pathway to being Spirit-filled. If you feel empty today, go to God, our ever generous Father as a trusting child. Know with certainty that God loves you so much that He will lavishly fill you with the power of His Holy Spirit, filling the empty spaces of your life with His amazing love. — Luke 11:13
