Emptiness

“Our hearts won’t rest until it rest in God.” - St. Augustine

 
The feeling of barrenness and desolation persist because we all have a deep down emptiness that can only be filled by God -like a God-shaped vacuum that only God can fill. 

                                                                           
The process of unmasking and healing are tiring but needed if we want to set forth a new journey, a new life.

When we are open, honest and trusting, we'll begin to appreciate and comprehend the spring of God’s water welling up in us- God’s purpose, God’s will in our lives...including the emptiness. 

When we let God hold the reign, our emptiness will be filled up and it's a beautiful process, like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon, like blooming flower from a bud, like a sun rising and shining forth, like a mother giving birth to her baby, like a wrinkled face of an old man with a sweet smile on his face because his dearly beloved is holding his hand.

Life can sometimes be a struggle. But, God’s fresh, clean, living water is available and it’s never limited!
Let us the continue to OPEN UP.
Let us open our hearts, open our minds, and open our soul and meet God, in His mysterious and special way.

 
FORGIVE.   
Let us forgive ourselves, forgive our past, forgive our world. Let us stop our resentments, stop resisting, stop revenge and Let God take control.

and LOVE.
Love like a child. Love like a baby – unconditionally without expectations, without conditions, without ifs and buts. Let love consume us. Let love grow within us and let that be our protection always!

AMEN.

  4. God is like love that moves in mysterious way. We're inferior when we compare ourselves to our Creator. But because of His greatest, unfeigned love, He fills those inadequacy we've, the emptiness that you're talking about. We beg for His goodness and mercy. He doesn't want us to be miserable like the Son of Perdition. He wants us to live with Him by following His commandments.

  5. When you feel empty, remember that God supplies us with our needs (and the wants too). (Philippians 4:19)

  6. lent is the time to reflect on things, what we have done and what we haven't. It's time to give thanks for the beauty of life.

    Why do you pray?

    We have to PRAY harder and be the BEST follower of HIS word.
    If someone do good things to you... pay it forward.
