i dunno. i dont think so, it wouldn’t suit me
A friend of mine said that the other day, and I laughed so hard. A few minutes later I was mind-BLOWN, because I realise that spiritual hunger is real, its no joke. So many people chase these things that just won’t fill that void. Yes, I’m talking to you, tumblr!
What void? Let me go back a few months. Yes, months (Note to self, God is truly great.) I am so sad, sometimes I dont know why. This emptiness? Owww!! It burns! It hurt so bad. This depression, thisdarkness. No one really knows what its like, no body notices my sadness. This aching, after crying again and again, it wont seem to end, it builds and builds and builds. I’m always sad, even under my smile. I don’t know why I am doing this, why I am hurting myself but I keep going back, again and again…
But what can one hurting heart do?
Here are your options as they stand.
A) Sex - Let’s go willlddd, let me numb you a little
Weed - Let’s get highhhh, let me numb you a little
Shopping - Let’s go crazzzyyy, let me numb you a little (etc)
B) You may not know me but I know you (Psalm 139:1), I am the way and the truth and the light (John 14:6) Come to me… and you will find rest (Matthew 11:28) For you are my precious possession (Exodus 19:5) I gave up everything I loved that I might gain your love (Romans 8:31-32), I am waiting for you (Luke 15:11-32).
So….which option gave me lasting contentment? Can you guess?
I realised that I deserve better than those things, than feeling shameful, depressed, crushed under my pain! Things of the world (those pleasures in A) could not sustain my soul’s hunger, they only put off the pain. Why did I deny myselfthe greatest love of all (B)?
Often the truth is simply staring you in the face….
