Like a joke you slipped in
Slowly making yourself known
Funny how your time has reached
Awestruck understates my state

VOID

¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, ¹⁸ be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love];
¹⁹ and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]. EPHESIANS 3:17-19, AMP.  

¹⁷ and I pray that Christ will make his home in your hearts through faith. I pray that you may have your roots and foundation in love, ¹⁸ so that you, together with all God's people, may have the power to understand how broad and long, how high and deep, is Christ's love. ¹⁹ Yes, may you come to know his love—although it can never be fully known—and so be completely filled with the very nature of God. EPHESIANS 3:17-19, GNT.

"There's a void rising, emptiness returning. There's need to refill, come to me and I will fill your cup. Drown yourself in my word and you'll never run dry." I can hear Jesus saying to me through the Holy Spirit. Truly, I am beginning to feel empty. I am hungrier for God's presence than ever. I spend more time in the place of prayer and worship and I set out time to be under the ministration of the word but I feel like I don't know God, His voice and ultimate will. I need Him more. In this dryness, my solace is the promise that He will fill me with more of Him.

But, there's always a but!😫

NEW

“Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands. ISAIAH 43:18-19, MSG 

But the Lord says, “Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago.  Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already—you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there. ISAIAH 43:18-19, GNT

Freshness! Serenity! Laughter! Strength! Newness!!! I am experiencing all round newness. There is an evolution of my person. I am witnessing a paradigm shift, gifts are birthing, order is returning, balance is being restored, healing is taking place and most importantly my relationship with God is changing for good.
