Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.

God’s voice speaking tenderly to our hearts today is the same voice that powerfully called creation into being.

There can be no doubt that this possessive clinging to things is one of the most harmful habits in the [christian] life. Because it is so natural, it is rarely recognized for the evil that it is. But its outworkings are tragic.

The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.

Our identification with Christ should be that whatever He is we also want to become.

Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.

Failure to get a right viewpoint in the beginning of our Christian lives may result in weakness and sterility for the rest of our days!
