Emptiness

Feeling empty can mean sorrow, loneliness, despair and disappointment EXCEPT WHEN IT DOESN'T.  BECAUSE OF THE EMPTY TOMB. He rendered death powerless. Because of the empty tomb we are now complete.  Because of the empty tomb we have power. Romans 8:11 The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead can be in in us. We don't have to be defined by others, by what we feel or how we look at ourselves. Because of the empty tomb we are who God meant us to be. Hope beyond what we see. Come empty.  Let the empty tomb fill you. He wants us to fill us with His goodness and love. 

Romans 8:15-23 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs —heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. 

Present Suffering and Future Glory

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. 

We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

Let God fill that feeling of emptiness today.
