My Empty Heart
Ephesians 3:16-17 I pray that out of His glorious riches He
may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. NIV
A second-grade girl noticed this jewelry and asked what was
in the heart. I let her open it so she could see.
When she looked inside, she gave me a somber look and, with
the wisdom that comes from young children, said, “It’s not good to have an
empty heart.”
Later, I noticed she was concentrating on a project at her
desk.
Between classes, my young student brought me a tiny paper
heart with the name of Jesus written on it. She gave it to me as a gift so my
heart wouldn’t be empty anymore.
It’s been many years, but I haven’t forgotten her words.
“It’s not good to have an empty heart.”
How is your heart? Empty or full of Jesus?
