Empty Yourself of Old Baggage

Never fear emptying your suitcase of old baggage. You can never fill it with novel things otherwise.

If your cup is filled with vomit, empty it out. Be patient in emptiness. Empty as it may be until fresh water is available, but if not empty you'll miss the fresh water when it becomes available.

Empty your heart of old grudges that have left you no space for grace. An empty heart is a sincere beggar beseeching for grace.

Empty yourself of old baggage. What seems to be a loss is simply room for the new.
