I know a man suffering from a very critical condition - he has a hole in his heart. A quite sizeable one.

He has tried filling it with different things; they seem to fit, filling it up for a while, only to come off, sadly. And he suffers because of it, crying silently.

He tried hard work, thinking it would fill the hole in his heart. He worked hard and hard. He rose to the top of the ladder; he achieved immense success, fame and influence. Yet the hole wasn't filled. He suffered on...

He tried money. "Ah ha," he thought, "I've finally nailed it!". Was he rich? Very! All he had to do to get what he desired was imagine it. But unfortunately, money didn't fill the hole; he suffered still...

He tried food. He gorged himself. He tried various delicacies from all parts of the world. He could afford it, he was rich after all. It didn't fill the hole, he suffered on...

He tried sex. He indulged himself. He tried and even invented new styles. He allowed his imagination run wild. At this point, he was pretty confident he had finally cracked it. But it didn't fill the hole he later realised. He suffered on...

He tried relationships. He loved and was loved back. He gave his heart; he did not hold back. He let go of all inhibitions. For a while it seemed that, at long last, the hole was filled. The wheels came off, sadly, again. Relationships didn't fill the hole, he suffered on...

He tried charity. He thought, "that has to be the point of life". He donated hugely for good causes including to orphanages; medical research centres; rehab homes; for child and mother care; and the likes. Yet, the hole wasn't filled. He suffered on...

Despite the man's best efforts, he was missing it all along. Many of us are like this man - we're looking for that missing piece that'll make us feel complete. Mankind lost that completing piece of the jigsaw at the fall - that piece that makes every other piece work and make man a "living being" (Gen. 2:7)

"What", you ask? It's that connection to our source! Mankind lost touch with his source - his creator - at the fall. Thus, we were all born with a vacuum in our hearts - a God-sized one - that only His Spirit can fill.

Just as rivers, streams and other smaller bodies of water have a source, so too do humans. God's the sole creator of all life, including humans. We can't exist without and outside of Him.

I want to believe you meant that as a joke. The hole is not a physical one, it's spiritual. Only God can fill it.

Is the heart also spiritual?

How do you fill material with the spiritual?


If your window breaks at home do you replace it with a spiritual one?

He will čûm unto you if you have one.

"The hole in heart" analogy is metaphorical, I didn't mean it literally. The point of the piece is that we're incomplete without God; and we'll continue to feel some "emptiness" without God.

Weird, I don't feel empty.

You're probably hurting and feeling the emptiness. Could be why you strongly feel the need to debunk everything about God. Open up to Him, you'll experience life on a whole new level.

I doubt I'm the one who's hurting. It's your hole being filled, not mine.

sonOfLucifer:

Weird, I don't feel empty.

how will you feel empty when you're full of sh*t. Atheistic poo.

Lol. You just have to figure out if the release is worth it.
