Empty what is full and fill what is empty

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6

Empty what is full, and fill what is empty

What a powerful statement. We must learn to empty what is full and fill what is empty. We have to empty ourselves of ourselves and be filled with more of Christ. We hinder our growth in life because we continue hold onto our identity. We are full of worldly ways but empty of the Presence of God. We are full of religion but empty of a true relationship with God. If we want to change we must come to God empty. Empty of our ways, of our habits, of our thoughts and be filled with God’s ways, God’s habits, and God’s thoughts.

The very thing we need and long for we can’t have until we are emptied of what we are carrying. If I am full of bitterness there is no place for forgiveness to dwell in me. If I am full of anger there is no place for mercy work in me. If I am full of pride I can not walk in humility. If I am full of hatred I can not walk in love. We are hindering ourselves from being blessed for our hearts and our lives are full of iniquity. Let us turn our hearts, our ways, and our lives back to God so that we can be filled with more of Him. Let us hunger for His righteousness. Let us seek His love. Let us be filled with God not this world. Our lives exuded what we are carrying. When persecution comes will we face it in Christ or in ourselves? When a storm comes will we be covered by the shadow of the Almighty or simply covered in sin. Christ has given us this opportunity to release what is in us and receive Him into our lives don’t waste another moment. Confess your heart to Christ (empty your heart) and be filled by His Spirit (be delivered, saved and redeemed).
