Each one of us contains an empty space that only God can fill. I know that in my life I have attempted to fill that space with many things. I tried to make my husband fill that space and though he is an amazing man who loves me better than any other human being, he is human and though it is hard to believe at times failing. His love is imperfect and it's unfair for me to obligate him to fill the space created for Christ. I have tried to fill it with friendships. And, though these women are priceless to me and I would be lost without them, their love is also imperfect. They like myself will not be able to be exactly what is needed when it is needed. At times even without meaning to we will break one anothers hearts or at least wound them. I have tried to fill that space with food and found my reward was getting fat. Absolutely not helpful to my health or self esteem. I know people who have attempted to fill that space with drugs, alcohol, and any number of questionable men. All of these things will bring you momentary rewards while tearing down our self esteem, our joy, and our overall well being.
I have been filled by His love. He is my Lord and Saviour. And while my life remains imperfect and at times a struggle, I look at where I was and where I am and I know my redeemer lives! Because He lives in me! I am changed. I will never be the same because before I was incomplete, and constantly searching for something though I had no clue what. I cannot tell you how hopeless that life is. If you do not know Him. If you have not felt the overwhelming joy that only His Resurrection can bring contact a local pastor, a Christian friend, or message me and I will gladly introduce you to the one you were made for, and you can invite Him to fill all the empty places within you!
God bless and keep you, Ms. Jill
