As I sit here on the eve of the year 2012, I’m thinking about the happenings of the 2011, my triumphs and pitfalls. I am extremely blessed and I thank God for all of my blessings but there was one consistent feeling of emptiness that I felt throughout the year 2011. It wasn’t until this morning, Friday, December 31st 2011, that I really came to grips with this feeling in regards to my relationship with God.
In case you don’t know, I am totally starting my life over, with NOTHING in hand. I felt empty, but that feeling of emptiness can be a wonderful gift from God. There is something about “nothing” that moves God’s hand. I was distracted from His will, depending on myself and I wasn’t empty enough. God basically led me to a place of nothingness where I can lean on nothing but His provision. And that is where I currently am.
The story of the prophet Elisha (2 Kings Chapter 4) really taught me that:
- Emptiness is a gift from the Lord
- Emptiness tells us we have a need
- We must admit our emptiness
- Only God can truly fill us.
Although I learned from the prophet Elisha, I may have learned even more from the destitute woman. I realized that regardless of the situation or where I am, I must GET UP and keep moving toward my purpose. While moving toward my purpose, I have to move past other people’s perception of me, whether good or bad. And most important, I have to remember that my purpose is from God.
Happy New Year…Be blessed, #BeDynamic
