The Biggest Void in the Universe
So I looked up "the universe void" on google and it said that the largest void in the universe is a billion light years across. Now that is quite large. Yet I want to contest this claim and say that the biggest void in the universe is in the unbeliever's heart. People do not recognize it for if they did they would respond. We did not recognize it until the Holy Spirit revealed it to us and we knew we needed that void to be filled by the only One that is big enough to fill it.
I believe that this void is not alone with the unbeliever because recently I have been experiencing this event as well. Of course not as large, for I have the Light, yet a void is present in my life. I think that I have been experiencing for quite some time yet it was intensified recently to where I could identify it. To be surrounded by people that love me and care for me and still to experience this emptiness must be something greater, perhaps supernatural. It goes beyond my childhood beliefs that fulfillment and joy comes from people around you or your attitude about things. Even I believed that the Church could sustain you and keep you, yet it is not true. These things are helpful especially the Church, but without Christ sustaining you and keeping you it is useless. He is the only one that can truly satisfy. Yet my whole life I looked for satisfaction in so many things: family, friends, soccer, school (yeah right), church, doing good things. These distracted me and consumed me that I could not truly focus on what satisfies...Christ. And one cannot be satisfied unless they allow Christ to satisfy them and one cannot be satisfied unless Christ decides to satisfy them. I long to satisfy my spirit which is what Christ satisfies. My flesh must die for that is what looks for satisfaction in the things of the world and the void will grow larger if I feed my flesh. Our God wants to entertain us. Not in a superficial and self-pleasing way. But He wants to entertain our thoughts, our emotions, our actions, our speech. He wants us to be pleased in Him. For when we are entertained by this world, it steals His glory. Let us glory in the Lamb.
