Filling The Void Inside
I believe that every man, woman, and child have a void inside them. We try everything love, addiction, money, power, jobs, sports, sex, relationships, fitness and the things of this world never work. They cause greed, envy, strive, control, fear, bitterness and all manners of sin. Sin and the love of natural things, will not fulfill this void!
The only thing that can fill this void and bring about the fruits of the spirit which are love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, meekness, goodness and temperance is the Baptism of the Holy Ghost! We get elevated into a higher realm in God, so that we can feel the void inside. We try buying big houses, cars, sex, drugs, getting great jobs, making lots of money, fame and fortune and it will satisfy us for days and years, yet it only is temporal and is not eternal and will not feel that void. We need to understand what fills this void is having the spirit of God dwelling in us then we can fill that void. The word of God says we must hunger and thirst after righteousness. It says we must overcome control, and give your will over to God.
God will fill that void then day by day, month by month, and year by year. Until we give up this life and our natural body. Then we will receive our spiritual and heavenly body. Where death has no power over us, then that void will be filled for eternity. We will then have led captivity, captive! Just like it said Jesus did. Then our work is complete or perfected.
I also believe we can have perfect peace and joy unspeakable if we strive lawfully and seek Gods face.
We must realize to fill this void like the things, I mentioned above we have to press our way into the Kingdom of God. Then allow God to purify our souls, and make us whole. This also comes from us receiving the Baptism of the Holy ghost! In order for us to fill this void we must learn to love and forgive our selfies first and put God first in our lives. If we allow anything to separate us from his perfect will and perfect love. The void will become empty. The control of the flesh takes place of self control in God.
