I'm certain you've heard it said that "there's a God-shaped hole in each of us". While anatomically incorrect (and slightly cliche), there is some truth in the statement. While we are physically intact, we were created in the image of the Almighty, to walk in companionship with our Lord daily. As it says in Genesis 3:8, God was walking through the Garden of Eden, to be with Adam and Eve. Just as you may go for a walk with family or friends, the Lord quite literally "hung out" with His creations! When man fell into sin, this relationship changed, however our fundamental design never changed. At the deepest levels, we still yearn to be with God.
Often, the need for that specific relationship is substituted by acquiring money, success, houses, cars, food, animals, clothes and television sets. It varies in item, scope and intensity, however some people experience such anguish (and are gripped by disorder), as to take collecting things to the extreme. However, no amount of possessions will ever satisfy our souls.
Fortunately, we can become reunited with God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the salvation purchased on the cross, we're once again permitted to "walk and talk with God".
If you don't yet know Jesus, you can begin your journey by praying this simple prayer: "Dear Jesus, I don't know you, but I know you know me inside and out. I choose to believe that you are the Son of God and that your work on the Cross was for me. Please come into my heart and become my Lord and Savior. Please help me grow in relationship with you. Amen"
Good Night
