Stop quoting Romans 8:28 during someone’s lament. God’s goodness does not negate our world’s brokenness. Ecclesiastes says there’s a time to laugh and to cry.
Emptying myself is very different from running on empty. May my desire for Him consume me until the emptying and filling are a simultaneous spiritual habit.
Trusting God is hard. He puts eternity in our hearts but frequently chooses to increase our trust in Him by giving us only what we need for one day, or moment.
