Emptiness

People often complain of an emptiness deep inside. It’s not something that can be relieved with food, although some obviously attempt that. The gathering of stuff also doesn’t seem to do the trick because more greed and emptiness seem to be the result of that endeavor.  Does the Bible address this phenomenon? Glad you asked.

Ephesians 1:13-14 

In Him you also, when you heard the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of His glory.

Revelation 3:20 

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to Him and eat with Him, and He with Me.

“There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made know through Jesus Christ.”                                                  ― Pascal

Is it possible that Pascal had that one right? Give it some thought.
