i guess this has been bugging inside of me for a while now..
we tried sharing a glimpse of it during cell here, but it never seems to be enough to drive the point through.
so i guess i should be sharing this to the few left on the blogger society :)
but most of all, i should be sharing this no matter what and hopefully not just skim the surface of it nor sugar-coat it.
there's a space in your heart that only God can fill.
fullstop.
its a space that needs love, that space that seeks for unconditional positive regard, that space that once its filled, you're satisfied.
in society nowadays, there's so many things that can fill up that void for us. consumer's behaviour, materialism, technology, hobbies, education, idolising singers/dancers/talent shows, belief in your own strength/the self, relationships. its not wrong to have all these. you can buy all the pretty dresses and pretty shoes, you can keep upgrading gadgets or attend concerts and follow CDs/drama series.. but you'll always be chasing them, even the least, catching up with them. when iPhone3 comes out, there's talks about iPhone4. when iPhone4 comes out, there's talks about iPhone5..
i suppose the cracks would start to show when trying to use bgr to fill up that void. noone starts/gets into a relationship wanting it to end. you hope that in that relationship, you can find love, you can find acceptance, you can find maybe even a soul mate/future spouse. but then you find out that your bgf wasnt what you expected to be, and he/she doesnt seem to meet your needs and desires.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that..
if God doesnt fill that space in you, noone else would.
no matter how hard they try, you'll never be satisfied. you'll always be wanting more, it's never enough for you. but when God fills that space in you, its different. God - the never-ending source of unconditional love. imagine if the main source of unconditional love and acceptance takes that void/space in your heart, all your love needs and desires are taken care of. because that source is never-ending, no matter how much that heart leaks, it'll never run on empty. the best thing is that when God fills that space in you, God Himself becomes all you need, more than enough for you.
only then, will you be contented in every aspect of your life. whether izzit buying the latest technology, whether izzit your 50th pair of earrings (because they all look extremely pretty and you cant decide), or whether izzit your next bgr. you'll not longer be looking for smth to satisfy yourself (cravings etc).
may your STEP1 always be the first step with God.
(if only some would see this!)
