[01-13-2017] Empty

            I have a big and happy family with all the techies and food that I can have. I have money to buy anything that I want or to spend on something that I don’t need. I have such a wonderful and caring person who affectionately loves me. But at some point, I feel empty.

            I have always wanted to be an Accountant; took the board examination twice but to no avail, I wasn’t able to pass it. At first, I thought that makes my being empty especially when I see my friends post about their adventures or hardships of being in that profession. But I continue with life.

            I started working to a company and felt happy. But all of a sudden, the job that I loved and enjoyed seemed to be empty and pointless, so I decided to resign because I can’t find the reason to continue working.

            I have my devotional with me every day but sometimes, I can’t have the willingness to continue and read but I need to because this is one of my resolution, to be closer to Christ. Until I decided to go to Church one Wednesday afternoon; and as I entered, I knew from then on that the feeling of emptiness is in my heart.

            I know that there are also others out there who feel incomplete in their life and I must say that it is God who is lacking in their lives. If they allow Christ to touch their heart with His mercy and compassion, then they will be made whole. Just like what I feel right now; being complete with Christ.
            
            Sharing to others about Jesus and showing them how He changed my life can be a good way for them to turn back to Jesus and seek His love; most especially those who are hurting and spiritual abused. We shouldn’t look at them with fear, but with compassion – displaying an attitude of mercy towards their needs.
