Letting Go of Our Fear of emptiness · Mar 1, 05:14 PM

It is very hard to allow emptiness to exist in our lives. Emptiness requires a willingness not to be in control, a willingness to let something new and unexpected happen. It requires trust, surrender, and openness to guidance. God wants to dwell in our emptiness. But as long as we are afraid of God and God’s actions in our lives, it is unlikely that we will offer our emptiness to God. Let’s pray that we can let go of our fear of God and embrace God as the source of all love.

  1. good thoughts…
    Is this what we all fear? that God is not there in the emptiness? Much of the time we don’t ‘feel’ His presence, but I wonder if our faith ‘that He really is there’ is the kind of faith that pleases Him.

  2. i like your choice of words, Jane. If I remember correctly, Yahwe, or “I AM THAT I AM” can be loosely translted, “The God who is really there.”

    most people are afraid of silince. I have learned to love the quiet moments!
