All of us at some point in our lives, may find ourselves feeling empty, in spite of wealth, and successes. Yet there is hope, for God your Father refreshes and fills your empty soul, bringing restoration.
Empty upon the top of the cliff, sits an eagle's nest. The mother eagle is very diligent in the survival of her eaglets. She provides food for them daily. As the eaglets develop, the mother eagle would gradually nudge a baby eaglet out of the nest forcing it to use its wings. Unable to fly just yet, the mother eagle would rescue the eaglet. What is the purpose of this exercise? Well the eagle is preparing each eaglet to soar to their destination. The nest is now empty and all of the eaglets have become full grown eagles, and have soared to their destiny.
Parents nurture and teach their children, by preparing them to fulfill their purpose and destiny. The time then comes for each of them to leave home, to pursue their destination leaving the home feeling empty. Yes, parents will miss their children's presence in the home, but they are happier knowing that, it is a must for their children to fulfill their purpose. They have the confidence that God will take care of each of their them.
In the Gospel of John 3:16, it describes the love of the Father for His children. It reads " For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Jesus accepted your punishment, yes He paid the ultimate price for your sins and mine. The tomb is empty, Jesus is no longer in the grave. Hallelujah, He has an offer you really should not refuse, the offer is a new life in Christ Jesus.
During your walk with God, you find yourself empty and depleted, burdened with the cares of this life, becoming miserable and out of touch. It is such a comfort for you and I to receive the love of the Father, through Jesus Christ. Empty we present ourselves receiving restoration, and a restoring faith. Walking in the new life that Jesus brought for you and I.
I challenge you today to empty yourself of everything that weighs you down, and receive this new life in Christ Jesus. Purpose in your heart, to take a leap of faith, empty out the old, to receive the new. Your decision has now placed you on your journey to fulfill your purpose and destiny. You are a winner, you shall overcome every temptation, and all of your trials. You have been fully equipped through your new life life in Christ. Visualize this " you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, and when you are weak, and can't go on, He will carry you. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says " My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." Now you can appreciate the empty times in your life.
