Whole in One



We all, due to our separation from God inevitably have these holes inside of us. It's different for every person but rest assured there are holes in every one of us. For me, one of the biggest holes in my life is a broken relationship with my father. We never did the things that fathers and sons are supposed to do and I have felt that all through out my life and continue to feel it today.
We all try to compensate for the holes in our lives. There are different ways of coping, whether they be: eating, shopping, overcommitting, going from relationship to relationship, striving to be popular, money, pornography, lying, and the list goes on.
Enter God. The One that is, "more than enough for all of me, for every thirst and every need. You satisfy me with your love, and all I have in you is more than enough." That's who God is for us, "more than all we want or need and more than enough." Just from personal experience I know that nothing else satisfies me more than being in relationship and walking with God. Even when I try to step out of that relationship for a while and do things on my own I always come back because nothing else satisfies like that. Money, drugs, pornography, alchohol, clothing, popularity, relationships, friends, spouse, sex, possesions, and everthing else can't satisfy because they aren't God. And God is whom we were all meant for. For it is in Him and through Him that thirst, that hungers, that holes are truly filled and satisfied. Like Jesus answers to the woman at the Samaritan women in John 4:13-14 , " Everyone who drinks of this water (or keeps going to physical things for satisfaction and to fill holes) will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
