Absolutely Nothing Left
Why is there so much comfort in having nothing? Why do I feel more free, more alive, and more powerful when I am nothing? It is a strange feeling that sometimes makes me scared that the things I add to my life will rob me of life. He knows the power of it, too. He designed nothing as a starting point for everything. Literally. So many people in this world are afraid to lose everything, and they miss the freedom of needing nothing.
When I am no more, then He is in me. I want to stay this way. Undivided, not watered down, not held back or locked up. Remember it, remember it well my soul.
Let go of every dream and hobby and safety and desire and embrace the world with an open heart. That's what it means to lay down your life. That's what it means to follow Him.

i don't understand God wants to make me empty? and leave me that way...I think if we want REAL life Real Dreams Real Passion we must lay down our old fake passions the lies we all run after, what you are saying sounds like life comes from being empty...I don't think thats what jesus was saying at all I think he is saying life comes from him filling us, and so be can't be full of other junk thus the emptying our selfs....but it seems depressing to think of saying empty...IDK just came accross your blog and thought I would put in my thoughts
