Gloriously Emptied

I am currently feeling as though I've taken one of those quizzes where you have to answer questions about your life through song titles or lyrics.  So, enjoy a (very) brief snapshot into my life as a musical this evening:

Empty Me
Jeremy Camp

Holy fire, burn away
My desire for anything
that is not of You and is of me
I want more of You and less of me

Empty me, empty me,
Fill, won't You fill me
With You, with You.

Oh won't You empty me?
Oh won't You empty me now?
Cause I want more, cause I want more,
I want more of You, Jesus

Thank You Jesus.

This song was coursing through my head a few weeks ago.  I was reminded of it tonight, and it is quickly becoming my heart's cry once again.  I feel as though I've been emptied several times over the past week, and I know Jesus isn't finished yet.  It is one of those things you pray and believe by faith but also realize that it means life isn't going to be easy when you're going through it.  Kinda like praying for patience ;).

As I was looking up the lyrics, however, another song came across my screen, and it also spoke to where I am right now:

Everything Glorious
David Crowder Band

The day is brighter here with You
The night is lighter than its hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe
(chorus)
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
What does that make me?

My eyes are small but they have seen
the beauty of enormous things
Which leads me to believe
there's light enough to see that

From glory to glory
You are glorious You are glorious
From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious
Which leads me to believe
why I can believe 

I am glorious because I am His.  Not because I am amazing in or of myself.  But He has made me, claimed me, redeemed me.  He will continue to empty me of myself and fill me with Himself.  So blessed.
