When Emptied of Me Love is Found

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!
