The Void

I was walking through the kitchen the other day and opened the fridge and asked myself what I wanted. We had just had snack, and there was no way that I could possibly be hungry. So I figured out that I was starving my soul, I had not fed it that day. So I sat down with the word and started to read and was I ever satisfied. I read the part that made a lot of Jesus' disciples turn back from following him, when He said that He was the bread of life and that if we feed on Him we will never hunger or thirst. Now that I think of it , it fit so well with my looking for food. I have learned a lot of this from Gwen Shamberlin's book, The Weigh Down Workshop.

Here is a poem I'd like to share, I think I wrote it a few years back. Also try this link from a sight I enjoy that happens to be on the subject. Dr. Grant has a new message/clip on it every month that has to do with his book Emotionally Free.

The Void

Empty vessel with no bottom
Need to fill to satisfy
Hungry, striving, longing, starving
Earthly things can’t gratify

Only One can quench this craving
Jesus Christ The Lord and God
You cannot contain His blessings
Overflowing joy and love
