The God-shaped Hole by Gamine(f): 10:56pm On Feb 13, 2008 |
Every human is created with this hole Only God can fill it You will keep searching like Bawolomo Lookingfor things to fill that void Unitl you Let go and Let God Nothing will be enough for you! Psa 73:25 Whom have I in Heaven? And besides You I desire none on earth. Psa 73:26 My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart, and my part forever. Psa 73:27 For lo, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all who go lusting away from You. Psa 73:28 And I, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in Jehovah God, to declare all Your works. |

Sorry, but my experience does not support the God-shaped hole theory. It's just something pastors tell you to make you feel the stress they make you go through in the name of serving God is truly worth it. It's a myth. It is true that there are some people who are never happy no matter what they achieve in life, but that is just a symptoms of clinical depression, a disease which responds well to drugs and other medical treatments. Depression can make even Bill Gates feel that he is a loser in life, etc. Many Christians are unhappy, but they deny their unhappiness in the name of faith. They claim to have "true joy" which is "different from happiness". But if an unbeliever is unhappy, they claim it is because he lacks Jesus. |

There is no myth. No one said we cant get unhappy But we do know Gods promise to us concerning this The world we live in is filled with pain, but its outta of this we draw strength That in Christ alone our hope is found Its about being content Selfishness always leads to unhappiness |

You know people keep coming with their theories But if we look at Gods commandments plainly we will see the keys to lasting and eternal joy and happiness but since the nature of man is to rebel, we are where we are. There is no commandment that leads to the detriment of man. Love yourself Love your neighbor Love God i see no harm in any of that |
