God cannot fill what is full. He can fill only emptiness -- deep poverty -- and your "Yes" is the beginning of being or becoming empty. It is not how much we really "have" to give -- but how empty we are -- so that we can receive fully in our life and let Him live His life in us.

What an awesome quote! And I find it a little...scary? coincidental?...that I've been thinking of trying to find this book lately. K-girl, we're still on the same page.
Love you.
i think we are, sarah. and as unpleasant as the becoming empty is, it is a comfort to know that it is happening so we can receive more of Jesus, to be more of Jesus wherever, whoever we are.
love you, girl!
i know empty. at least, i'm beginning to understand what it means to give myself over to it...to let go little by little.
me too, terri. just beginning ...
