OUR EMPTINESS COUNTS IMPORTANT

There are times in our Life when we feel empty and useless to ourselves. We get irritated in such situations, neither can we do something nor be productive. 

In such circumstances always realise that these are the times that we are really being 'used by God'.When we use ourselves according to our desires God can never work in us, but at times we find ourselves unfruitful , realize 'GOD HAS STARTED HIS WORK IN US'.

In this context let us remember Jesus Christ,

              "He was like God in every way,
                but he did not think that his being equal with God was 
           something to use for his own benefit.
7            Instead, he gave up everything, even his place with God.
                 He accepted the role of a servant, appearing in human form.
           During his life as a man,
8                  he humbled himself by being fully obedient to God,
                 even when that caused his death—death on a cross.
9             So God raised him up to the most important place
                   and gave him the name that is greater than any other name." 

                                                                         --Philippians 2:6-9

Hence, if Jesus Christ the son of God humbled himself and emptied himself for we sinners, why cant we? 

In our state of emptiness, God is making us useful for others, may be for our children or partner or friends or even the society. If we look around us we can understand this. Our present unproductive  state is needed for God to make way for His marvelous works.

"Yes, it is God who is working in you. He helps you want to do what pleases him, and he gives you the power to do it.

 Do everything without complaining or arguing .so that you will be blameless and pure, children of God without any fault. -Philippians 2:13-15

Let us trust in Him and submit ourselves for His will is to be done and it is eternal.
