Filling Up The Empty
Romans 15:13, “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”
Salutations friends! Thankful for the opportunity to see another day. Today we want to look at the empty parts of our lives and how we can fill any voids with God’s never-ending love. So many people let negative thoughts and actions empty our lives of anything that feels positive. In today’s world, we are bombarded with false philosophies, false religions, false ministers; all of which create worldly, evil voids inside us. Even new believers and born-again Christians find themselves filling their thoughts and lives with doubts which lead to sad lives with unanswered questions. At this point, we all need to start to open up our hearts to humble consistent prayer; begin that personal relationship with God again. Our thoughts should cultivate with Bible reading and meditation; then worshiping. Stop listening to the negative and hear God speaking to you so you can get back to walking in obedience, recognizing how God has always been right there. We must empty our hearts, souls and minds of distractions, anxieties; anything that is worldly and evil. In doing this, we can again feel His presence, His love, His provisions; then be filled with positive, joyful, spiritual fullness! When we open back up to His promises we can allow Him to once again supply all our needs; thus, chasing away those feelings of emptiness. When we regain that relationship, we gain that faith and trust we have always had; emptying of the negative and replenishing with comfort, satisfaction, peace. Once we have pushed aside that evil we can surrender whole heartedly to His mercy, grace and guidance. At the moment we realize that the hunger and thirst we tried to fill with evil pleasures, fame, money, false teachings, false ministers, etc., wasn’t filling that void, our lives do a complete turnaround! Remembering why Christ came into this world is the breaking point! Knowing He is the only way back to a positive life will become a need you will constantly be working toward. So today, if you have doubts or feel you are losing your faith; stop, pray, then make the necessary changes to positive choices, actions, interactions. Become grounded in reading God’s word, talking with reliable Christians that will pray with you and for you! Start today and begin filling up that empty with God again!
