There must be empty…in order to fill.
Fill up with gas, fill out an application, fill an empty canvas with paint, fill our stomachs, fill the vacancy.
All start with empty….with a hollow space.
Our breathing reminds us of this. We exhale our breath within and our lungs deflate. We inhale and our lungs expand.
We exhale to release…We inhale to increase.
In the desert we exhale letting go of all that stands in the way of union with the Lord.
We inhale His life, His grace, His love, His mercy, His will for our lives.
We inhale “Fiat”….”Let it be done to me according to Your Word.”
We exhale “surrender”…all that stands in the way.
Inhale “Fiat”….Exhale “Surrender”.
Inhale “Fiat”…Exhale “Surrender”.
Inhale “Fiat”…Exhale “Surrender”.
This is our heavy breathing while wrestling on our journey in the desert.
“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your kind spirit guide me on ground that is level.” Ps 143:10
Amen! Inspirational Post!
God Bless You!
Thank you Lady Deidre…and God Bless you as well.
God has been speaking the same thing to me. Thank you for the confirmation to wholly surrender to the Lord!
I am so glad this served as a confirmation..that truly blesses me. Blessings to you and yours.
Incredibly good, sister!! I need to come back to this later for more practice–thank you so much! Have a blessed day.
Yes we need to do our “breathing exercises”! Blessings Caddo.
Our journey in the desert will bring victory and joy if we first empty ourselves, leave it all behind, and just step out into pure being with Him.
Yes ….and victory and joy in Him is what I am aiming for aren’t you Granbee?
Nature abhors a vacuum. God wants us to be filled with Himself. [Eph 3:19]
We cannot be FILLED with Him unless we empty self out first.
Amen! BLessings to you meetingintheclouds.
Excellent analogy. That which is exhaled is of no use to the soul. Out withe bad and in with the Good. Fill my cup Lord
Amen…..”fill my cup Lord”….to overflowing! Blessings Noel.
Truly inspiring! Surrender- “Not my will but Thine be done”, is easier said than done–but it’s a must in our walk with Him. TY sister for this post…
definitely easier said than done…that is why we must rely on His grace! Blessings.
Amen to that… I’ve inhaled! 😉
OOOh quick then remember to exhale…Surrender! Blessings.
