emptiness

Yes we are a food blog and 99% of the time share recipes, but today we want to share what God has been teaching us lately, hope you enjoy!

Emptiness. We all know that feeling, the longing from deep within our souls. We know there is something much greater that can fulfill it but we don’t know what or how. So we tirelessly search for that one thing that will “complete” us.

Is it

having a successful career?

being rich and famous?

having the perfect family?

having the perfect bikini body?

getting a lot of likes on instagram?

being in a relationship?

being a top athlete?

*fill in your blank here*

Friends, I am here to show you what God has been showing me, that NONE of these things can fill our emptiness. The deepest longings of the soul cannot be filled by worldly things, because our souls were made for greater things, things that last forever.

Ephesians 3:11 says,

“He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

He alone satisfies that longing within and He has shown me that chasing the things of this world leave me feeling even more empty than before.

Psalm 63:3 says,

“Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.”

His word shows us that His love is better than anything this life has to offer! Even more than that, when we chase these things rather than God, we commit spiritual adultery against Him and worship them rather than our glorious Creator who is alone worthy to be praised.

So friends, instead of chasing the things of this world as our top priority, let’s chase Jesus, for He alone will satisfy you and fill you, for he says in John 6:35, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

God Bless
