Empty Me

I've often heard our lives compared to a full cup of coffee. On good days, we are warm, satisfying, and give others the encouragement they need to get through the day. But on other days we are jostled by whatever life throws at us. Rather than spilling out the blessings God has provided us, we burn others with our discontent, selfishness, and anger. I pray that am filled to overflowing with the fruits of God: love, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Lord, empty me of me so I can be filled with you.

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.
