Suffering Excavates a Deep Place
I was taught that suffering excavates a deep place in our souls which can then be filled with God's peace and joy. Mother Teresa would remind us so beautifully that "even Almighty God cannnot fill what is already full." So, let us allow this hollowing out in our souls. And know that, even if we are experiencing trials and feelings of emptiness at the moment, we are in prime condition for being filled up with God's inestimable treasures of grace -- not the least of which is His own divine presence in our soul.
