Could this be our day's desire?
To again empty me.
What meaning does this have
To empty me?
To be stripped of
self and pride.
To remove the
desires of our flesh.
To throw away
the old and put on the new.
Oh, to empty me
Is to empty the world within me.
Could this be our desire today
To empty out all that clings to the me?
For Paul says it best,
when he says the emptied me
is love in the simplest form.
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud, or rude.
Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
When emptied of me
love is found!
