How many of us are truly content with life? Ever since we’re born we’re never satisfied. There is in all of us a yearning for something more...
“There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which only God can fill through His son, Jesus Christ.” Blaise Pascal
“God made us, invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. God cannot give a happiness and peace apart from Himself.” C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, p.90
We are each born with a hole in our heart. We try to fill this void in our life with many different things; money, relationships, power, alcohol, materialism. But we soon find that these things do not fill us. It’s like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole. It will never fit! The only thing that will truly fill us is a special relationship with the God of the universe. Nothing else!
