Giving God Your Nothingness

ASCENSION
About this episode

Do you ever feel like you have nothing left to give? There are seasons in our lives when we feel like we have nothing left to give to God, to our relationships, or to our jobs. Today, Dr. Sri encourages us to see our nothingness as an opportunity to meet God in humility.

Snippet from the Show

When we have nothing left to give, we can turn to God, knowing that he can take our nothingness and turn it into something beautiful.
