Blessed are the empty
I was reading my bible this morning (at 7:15,before gym and morning meeting!!!-how holy am I?!) and I was reading about the life and ministry of Jesus. I think it was in Matthew,anyhoo, it said something along the lines of "when you is feeling down, drained and empty you should rejoce, because the less of you there is, the more space there is for God to fill".
I never thought of it like that before. Just thought I'd share it with you guys.

Locusts and Honey
This morning, in my bible, I was reading about the start of the adult life of Jesus and his first meeting with the locally well-known prophet and his cousin, John the Baptist (the most suitable modern-day visual example is Matt).
Anyhoo, before I started reading, I prayed that God would help me to understand what it is that He wants me to do to progress. After starting to read I instantly thought 'WOW.. God wants me to get baptised!!!'. However, after further reading this passage I soon realised that this was not the case.
"Bro0od of snakes! What do you think you are doing slithering down here to the river? Do you think a little water on your snakeskins is going to make any difference? It is your life that must change, not your skin!" Matthew 3.15
The first part of the verse is aimed at the Pharisees and Sadducees, who had come to be babtised because it was seen as the popular thing to do.
I now know that baptism is in the future for me, but not yet. First I have a lot of "soul cleaning" to do before i am ready.
Sorry this post was so heavy going but I just thought I would share my experiences with a few close and personal friends (however many millions of people have access to t'internet!)
Peace
