A reader named Susan commented on my post from yesterday, and she shared this treasure with me. And I wanted to share it with all of you today.
“The world’s kingdom is not where I want to be, so I’ve run from it – desperately and without direction. God has revealed to me that it isn’t about running from the world, but it’s about running to God’s Kingdom.”
Because the white space helps me to be intentional.
Because the white space helps me to prioritize.
Because the white space removes a lot of the things that I have found to fill my time and my space instead of asking Him to fill me up.
Because the white space helps me to hear Him and what He’s saying to me because I’ve given Him the room to move.
But His Kingdom is the prize before me. The world’s kingdom is not where I want to be, but I do have purpose while I am here.
This is the time to use the white space to love on people, show them Jesus, and run to God’s Kingdom.
This is Day 26 of 31 Days of Creating White Space
As Ann Voskamp always says so beautifully, “Empty to fill”. It’s the great paradox of the Christian life. But oh so beautiful.
Your posts have been so beautiful and true lately. Thank you so so so much for sharing your love for Jesus!
Erin! So glad that you found my story to be a treasure : )
We’re all on this journey together when united through Jesus – praise God for community!
