Day 63: An Empty Bowl


Day 63. Dollar 63. "We ask God for many things. we approach God to fill our lives with meaning, with hope, with a sense of presence in a world that so desperately needs a sign of the divine.

What if God has been coming all the time

through that which needs to be filled?

What if God is an empty stomach, a broken heart, an anguished cry, an empty bowl? We have a tendency to want to heal and fill and satisfy. Maybe God has come closer than we think. Everything that is empty has left room for God to arrive, again and again." (J. S. Behrens, Empty Bowl Theology)
