Empty.

Everyone knows the old saying, “the glass is either half empty or half full.” They say if you pick one over the other automatically then you are a pessimist or an optimist. But, there is actually another way to look at it. Think theologically for a moment. If you are half full, then you have almost reached the next level of faith. If you are half empty, then you have room to grow and room for God to work in your life. Either of those sound pretty good if you ask me. Because either way God is working in your life and changing things for the better. We were not meant to stay the same. We are meant to grow and change in our walk with Christ. 

“Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.”

‭‭—2 Kings‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When life drains us, God will fill us again. When our faith is tested and our strength is gone, God will show up and do great and mighty things. When we are empty, he will fill us with his unending love and amazing grace. Have a blessed night y’all!
