Do you feel empty on the inside as if life has left you behind ?
Those who are honest with themselves will admit that at some point in their
life they felt an emptiness that nothing could seem to fill. Most of the
time some people either stay "numb" to that emptiness by trying to satisfy it
artifically thru alcohol or drugs, some stay so busy with work or hobbies
trying to fill that empty spot that they develop the ability to ignore it,
and some even try to fill that empty spot thru various religions yet still
feel like "something" is still missing.
That is because there is an empty spot in each of us that only God Himself
can truely and completely fill and satisfy, anything else is just a
temporary "band-aid" that only covers the emptiness but never genuinely
fills it.
The Psalmist spoke of how the soul of mankind thirsts for what is real -
"O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is"
Psalms 63:1
"My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD:
my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God"
Psalms 84:2
....the first step is to come to the realization that God is the only
one who can genuinely fill that empty spot in your soul, and to be
thirsty enough to reach out for Him with all your heart -
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart"
Jeremiah 29:13
Jesus said in John 10:10 -
"....I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly"
....not just existance, but an abundant life full of what is right, peace and joy !
"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost"
Romans 14:17
The Holy Ghost is just another term for the very Spirit of God Himself,
and on the day of Pentecost, the birthday of the New Testament Church,
the Holy Ghost was first poured out, and the apostle explained to the
people what they had to do to become born again of the water and the Spirit -
"Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost"
Acts 2:38
