When drained and exhausted, the result is often empty.
And empty is meaningless, or so I thought...
Ann Voskamp's book "The Broken Way" has taught me that an empty bucket outweighs a full bucket.
However, what good is an empty bucket?
"EMPTY poured out buckets are actually the fullest buckets."
The author explains, "I have more and become more, the more I pour myself out."
I always thought before reading this book that my bucket had to be filled to the brim or overflowing!
So when I feel like there is nothing left to give, how do I give from an empty bucket?
I surrender and empty the empty bucket.
I let go of wanting to overfill my bucket.
I give Jesus my bucket and He fills what I cannot.
"Experiencing the whole world will not fill your bucket like experiencing giving yourself, and finding the meaning that will find your soul." -Ann Voskamp, The Broken Way
