And God said:
"Poor
in spirit means to renounce yourself being totally in control. It does not mean
to dishonor the self. I do not want to rule over a ruined self but a
surrendered one. What happens when you renounce your Self? You are left with an
emptiness to be filled. The Holy Spirit can now make you aware of your God
need, God dependence, and God origin. You can accept the Father’s grace and
lean fully on him. Without the emptying of the self, you would still be filled
with all the worldly clutter. That clutter pushes out the Holy Spirit,
silencing his inner message. In modern terms, crucify your false self so your
true self can be resurrected."
Prayer: Lord, I do pray you would fill my emptiness and help me with other-centered opportunities.
