“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). We cannot be filled until we are empty. We have to be poor in spirit of ourselves in order to be filled with the Holy Spirit. “In my hand no price I bring: Simply to Thy cross I cling. . . .”
For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity. whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.” (Isaiah 57:15)
Lord. I am empty in myself, but You are the all-sufficient One. Thank You that You fill my heart and make me rich in Yourself.
