IS SOMETHING MISSING IN YOUR LIFE?

BIBLE PASSAGE:
To them God has chosen to make known among the
Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is
Christ in you, the hope of glory.
(Colossians 1:27)

MEDITATION:
No matter what is going on in our life, we can still have a
feeling that there is a void in our life that needs to be filled.
We may be financially successful, but there is still a void.
We may increase our intelligence to the maximum, but there
is still a void. We may attain the best social status imaginable,
but there is still a void. We may achieve all of our athletic or
talent goals, but there is still void.

Underneath the surface of every individual a void exists that
the world cannot fill. It is living proof that man cannot be
satisfied by any and everything the world has to offer. As
an example, a rich man was asked, “How much is enough?”
He replied, “A little bit more!”

As long as we continue exploring the world to fill the void,
our hunger will continue to exist. Oh sure, some will deny
that it exists in their lives, and they will often claim that
their life is perfect. But how do they feel late at night when
they are all alone in the dark?

This vacuum can only be filled through a relationship with
Jesus Christ. The amazing part is, our great and almighty
God can live in our hearts no matter who we are or what we
have achieved. It makes no difference who we are, God loves
us, wants what is best for us, and can fill the void in our lives
with a hope that is eternal.

The hope of glory (being with the Lord in heaven) is the epitome
of all hopes. It is a hope that comes to fruition when we leave this
life. This hope is our motivation for living out our days here on
earth. When worldly hopes are attained, we can often create new
hopes to strive for, but not when our hope is only at the end of
our life.

This hope encourages us to worship and praise the Lord, and
creates a desire in us to point others to Him. Serving the Lord
is an exciting journey that is never boring. Sure, it may take us
out of comfort zone, but nothing can be more satisfying than
knowing we are doing something for His kingdom.

ACTION:
Do you have a yearning for something else in this life? Have you
given your life to the Lord, and given Him control of your life?
How is He using you as part of His earthly ministry? If you still
have a void, go to the only source for filling that void.

Pray,
“Heavenly Father, thank You for loving and caring for me.
Thank You for creating in me a void that only You can fill.
Thank You for giving me a feeling of emptiness and a longing
in my soul. I give my life to You and look forward to how You
plan to use me. I need the presence of Your Spirit in my life.”
