The God-shaped Hole


 
I saw this poster on Facebook and was immediately drawn to it.
I heard of a 17th Century clergyman who said (when he was just 17 years old) that we are each born with a God- shaped hole in our lives and if we try to fill that hole with anything but God, we will never be satisfied.  In this day of everything from alcohol, drugs, porn, food, or vampire movies, this is more relevant than ever.  How much time do I spend at Church and in prayer, scripture study and meditation compared to time spent playing computer Mah Jong?  I am convicted!  Maybe that is what is so addictive about games and gambling; it's because even if you win, you don't win.
Food for thought.
