What do you
DO
when you don't have what you
WANT?
Do you talk about the VOID in your HEART,
until you get what you WANT when you WANT it?
Do you talk about the VOID in your HEART,
hoping that something else will take its place?
What do you
DO
when you don't have what you WANT when you WANT it?
Oh you can talk about it,
but how about to the
ONE who has all you NEED?
And why?
Because JESUS
gives you
MORE
than what you WANT when you WANT it,
because ONLY HE
can FILL the VOIDS in your HEART~
those empty spaces and places
that are
DEVOID of
what you WANT
yet you don't have.
Well,
we are all BORN with a HOLE in our HEARTS~
"There is a GOD shaped vacuum in the heart of every man
which cannot be filled by any created thing,
but only by GOD,
the CREATOR,
made known through JESUS" (Pascale).
A GOD SHAPED VACUUM is a
"GOD-shaped hole is the innate longing of the human heart
for something outside itself,
something transcendent, something other" (gotquestions.org).
Oh a THIRST for MORE
in the middle of a DRY WELL.
You know,
the
WANTING MORE IN THE MIDDLE OF LESS.
Oh IMPOSSIBLE you think,
as I have thought this,
and still do at times,
when I don't have what I WANT when I WANT it,
and when I REFUSE TO BELIEVE
that JESUS WILL give me what I really NEED,
so that HE becomes what I REALLY WANT in the first place.
Have you ever questioned how can
JESUS be ENOUGH
to give you what you WANT when you WANT it,
when what HE has for you may not be what you WANT?
Hmm.
Try it.
Be totally honest with yourself, and with GOD.
What don't you have right now, that you really WANT?
What do you have right now, that you really don't WANT?
Is it a BROKEN RELATIONSHIP, that you WANT reconciled?
Is it a HEALTH issue, that you WANT healed?
Is it a FINANCIAL issue, that you WANT paid?
Is it a PAST memory, that you WANT erased?
Is it a WISH I didn't DO what I DID, so that you WANT a DO-OVER?
Hmm.
But what if JESUS WILL give you what you
REALLY NEED so that you are OVERFILLED
with what HE has for you,
so that
you are blown away that
you have
JOY in the midst of DESPAIR
&
PEACE in the midst of ANXIETY
&
HOPE in the midst of HOPELESSNESS
&
LOVE in the midst of REJECTION.
Oh my friend,
ONLY JESUS FILLS THE GOD SHAPED HOLE.
For HE takes us to the end of ourselves
so that HE becomes our BEGINNING.
"HE has made everything appropriate in its time.
HE has also set eternity in their heart,
without the possibility that mankind will find out the work
which GOD has done from the beginning even to the end"
(Ecclesiastes 3:11)
JESUS OVERWHELMS your WANTS with what you
REALLY NEED so that ALL your WANTS become what you
REALLY NEED.
Are you SEEKING water in a DRY WELL?
What do you WANT?
Or should I ask,
"WHO do you WANT?".
What if it is
JESUS first and foremost,
then will you REALLY have all that you WANT!
"But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again.
But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water
[satisfying his thirst for GOD] welling up
[continually flowing, bubbling within him] to eternal life” (John 4:14).
All because
JESUS IS THE SOMETHING IN NOTHING.
And all you have to do
is ask HIM~
"JESUS I NEED YOU"
(listen to the song below)
