Fullness in Him

Imagine Emptiness. A hole that needs to be filled. A need that needs to be met. A person who needs a friend. A tummy that needs to be filled. A future that needs a hope. A world with no people. A mind with no thoughts. A heart with no love. A life with no purpose. A heaven with no angels. A kingdom without a king.

Where would we be with emptiness? What if a hole was never filled or a need was never met. What if we had no friends or a mind without thoughts. What if the world had no people. Would there still be kingdoms without kings? Would we still have a future? Would there be a purpose to life? What if we didn't have a heart, could we still love? Would we understand hunger? Would there even be a heaven?

Now imagine Fullness. A hole completely filled to the top. All needs met. Someone with many friends. A full belly. A hopeful future. A world crowded with people. A mind bursting with imagination. A heart overflowing with love. A life with great purpose. A heaven bouncing with angels. A kingdom with the Most High at His Thrown.

How could we not want fullness? We as humans hunger for fullness, completeness, that feeling of purpose. Would you believe me if I said that there was a place in our heart that actually had an empty spot? Not physically of course but spiritually. God put that empty place in our hearts so it could be filled. Filled by God Himself, not by some wordly thing that is only temporary.

I have heard so many testimonies of people feeling empty inside and trying to fill that void with drugs or alcohol or sex; something of this world that will one day die away or possibley kill the person. But then God would get ahold of their lives and save them from themselves and fill that emptiness with Love, a feeling of greatness, a feeling of belongingness.

That emptiness inside of us was not meant to be satisfied with the things of this fallen world, it was meant to be filled with Gods' Love and something heavenly. An empty stomach is meant to have food in it. There are supposed to be people in this world. What's the point of having a kingdom if there isn't a king? What's the point of having hope if the future doesn't exist? Every single person in this world has a gap in their heart that needs to be closed. That gap can only be filled by the Father, the Almighty God. Aren't you sick of always feeling like a dried up well?
