Everyone tries to fill the unfillable hole inside of us with different things: money, sex,drugs, alcohol, success, comfort, diversion, amusement, hobbies, work,nor relationship after relationship. We can create, but everything we create cannot fill the hole. So, we try to redefine reality and create a world without the unfillable hole.
Our flesh and our world can become so broken we tells ourselves it’s broken by design. We all fall short. We all dance the dance because will live with the hopelessness of trying to fill our own hole.
We all need someone or something to fill that hole. Unfortunately many do one understand how to do it until we’ve dug ourselves so far into a pit, or we die trying.
We need someone else to fill the hole. We need the One that created us to make it right. Jesus fills the hole when we choose to follow Him. We receive eternal life in God’s kingdom and through the Holy Spirit, who fills that hole.
Those of us who know Jesus, experience fulfillment. We understand the joy and peace -the life of having that hole filled. When we focus on Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the hole inside is filled. (Ephesians 5:18).
Jesus said He came to give us life (John 10:10), and peace (John 14:27). His life and peace fill our unfillable hole. We no long have to dance with the unfillable hole. But, when we focus on our circumstances, we sense the emptiness and rejoin the dance, and all we can focus on our circumstances.
If we know to follow Jesus we have a responsibility to Him. Our responsibility isn’t just to tell others about the One who filled our hole. Our responsibility is to live a life marked by generosity and love that flows from a filled, unfillable hole.
I hope we live in such a way that people see our good works and glorify God in heaven (1 Peter 2:13). That’s how other will see life beyond dancing with the unfillable hole.
