{Five Minute Friday} Empty

I used to try to fill that empty place inside.

With food.

With people.

With shopping.

With starting.

With busy-ness.

But I realize now that it’s not empty.

It’s spacious.

Ready and waiting to hold whatever comes next. Or content with nothing more.

I used to think I was empty desperate to be filled with just the right thing to make me complete.

But He brought me out into a spacious place
and I discovered
how much easier
it is to breathe
when there’s
plenty
of
space.
