You won't get any less...

You won't get any less thirsty by drinking from an empty glass. It's not a very good idea to dive into an empty pool. And no one is ever bragging when they tell you that they feel empty inside. But you can't fill a glass with what you want to drink unless it is empty first. When you build a pool from scratch, you build it with nothing in it. It can't hold water unless it starts out empty. The emptier something is, the more it can be filled. The more we empty ourselves of our pride, fears, ego, and greed, the more room there is for the grace of God.
