Emptied

Emptied. 

Called to have the same attitude as Christ. 

Yet this earthen vessel still reveals trace amounts. Vestiges of pride and selfish ambition. Clutter.

And I learn my emptied is not a one-time thing.

But daily.

Roots

The paved path I walk most mornings is shifting. 

Lifted. Moved. Broken.  

By earthquake, flood, or foot traffic?

No. Roots of nearby trees travel underneath. Moving asphalt. Breaking through brick and stone. 

Revealing their power and hold. Eventually breaking through from underneath the surface. Disrupting my steps.

Roots disrupting.

All we need

We have all we need. 

For life. Godliness. And walking by faith in this day and age.

We’re given His Spirit. God’s Word. Prayer. The fellowship of believers. 

Every advantage.
