The world offers many solutions to despair. Substances, prescriptions, possessions, relationships, formulas to follow and best selling books to read. On and on the list goes. In the end they all just serve as substitutes and distractions,trying to fill a great void in our souls. We search and search for anything to give us peace, but there is an emptiness built into us that can only be satisfied through an eternal relationship with Jesus Christ. I'm sure you've heard soembody say "There's a God sized hole in each of us that only God can fill." Well, that might be an overused saying, but it is 100% true. God designed us to be in deep, loving, and intimate relationship with Him.
“Most people, if they had really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. There are all sorts of things in this world that offer to give it to you, but they never quite keep their promises." CS Lewis
