My Life was uncomplete until i met Jesus Christ and although i have many things that need a lot of improvement i still feel complete.I feel content in the love that God has for me. God was the missing link in my wholeness and wellness of spirit. I tryed to fill the void, the emptyness that i felt for years but couldnt do it.Jesus changed all of that. What do you think ? Do you feel whole ? Is your life complete? Do you know Jesus Christ ? I really think this is pretty much a cliche - that oh, there's this void; people try to fill it with all sorts of things; all they need is to accept Christ. But Christians often (maybe even usually) have a void also that they try to fill with external things. It's just that the "things" perhaps are not illegal. I know obese Christians - they try to fill their emptiness with food. I know anorexic Christians - they try to fill their emptiness with controlling food/exercise. I know Christians with tons of consumer debt - they try to fill their emptiness with the excitement of buying things and/or having things that others admire. Even servitude can come from a need to be admired, as in, "Oh, that Mrs. Johnson, she has such a servant's heart. She is always there to lend a helping hand." So, I don't think that people just have a void that only God can fill and once you accept Christ - poof! it's filled and that longing for "something" just evaporates.
