waits,
empty and open,
for the gift of Life.
RIGHT NOW – bird nests lie high in barren trees, composed of ordinary twigs and mud,
wait,
empty and open,
for the gift of life.
RIGHT NOW – my heart, full of ordinary clutter, noise, to do lists, worries and pride,
like no room in Bethlehem,
my heart has no room for You.
So I slow down this Advent season and let go of what blocks me from You
And wait,
empty and open,
For the extraordinary and
astonishing gift of Life.
RIGHT NOW – I prepare my heart for You
Waiting
to be filled by You,
Waiting
to be filled with You.
Beautiful. Thanks.
Waiting.. To just wait on the Lord. Thanks for reminding me.
Karen I find when I fill myself with myself I block hearing God. When I wait, open and empty, I sense his presence.
“Empty and open” to wait, and expect a great thing. That’s a wonderful attitude, Jeanie, to have.
