Empty Me of Myself

Her heart was too jaded by her circumstances to see God’s abundant faithfulness to her.

Let that sit a minute…..

Not only has that been me in the past, it’s easily me again on the hard, difficult days if I’m not careful.

When we aren’t careful we quickly find ourselves in a “why me” attitude and mindset and we let our hearts grow so bitter it’s hard to shake our bad moods.

Bitterness can quickly skew our views and blind us to all of God’s faithfulness around us. It prevents us from seeing how God is working.

Vulnerable moment: I had this feeling this week. And I’m still shaking it as He is reminding me of this truth. A difficult situation reared it’s head and I found myself sitting in a puddle of “why me” and “I’m not cut out for this and frankly I don’t want to do it”…..

Before I knew it my heart felt jaded and I couldn’t even see God’s abundance I was literally sitting in.

That’s the enemies plan after all, to make us lose sight of the faithfulness of God and become so bitter and jaded that we don’t grow and walk in our purposes.

Sometimes tho, we need to be emptied of ourselves to make room to be filled by Him. And it’s not always pretty.

How can He pour Himself into hand that are already full, right?! 😭

My reminder this morning:

This chapter began with famine in so many ways I can’t even disclose them all, and it’s ending with a harvest so big I am overwhelmed with His goodness.

That’s the truth I’ll choose to stand on, and I’m sharing my space with you if you needed to stand up there today too friend 💛
