Have you ever felt emptiness inside
of your heart? You may have everything that you want, but you may sometimes still
feel empty. Why is that?
Do you have an answer for
that? Our heart has three layers.
Our Heart in which we think, our Soul in which we feel, and our spirit that is in the center of your
heart.
God created us to have a relationship with Him through our spirit. Only
God can fill your emptiness with His spirit.
Take a look at the left circle.
We are surrounded by so many things everyday such as family, school, money, jobs,
and more. You have to think about those things no matter what. When something
happens to your family, you will worry. When you have financial problems, you
will worry. When somebody upsets you at school, you will get mad. The Heart
in which we think will affect to your soul and
make you feel sad, mad, or happy. Not only that, but your spirit is empty, so you
are not strong enough to handle or control your feelings.
But thank God he made the
way to fill your emptiness so that you can have peace, joy, and love through your
relationship with God. God doesn’t want
you to feel emptiness and loneliness. God doesn’t want you to feel sad. God
wants to restore his relationship with you. That’s why He sent His only one Son
Jesus to restore the relationship between Him and us. When you accept Jesus Christ as
your personal savior, Jesus will dwell in you.(so that
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Ephesians 3:17) Jesus
will fill your emptiness so that you can have peace , joy, and happiness.(But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5: 22)
Take a look at the right circle.
When you accept Jesus Christ, He will be your center of your life and He will rule
your heart. After you accept Jesus you will still have problems, but when you put
Jesus in the center of you, Jesus will give you the power to overcome your
problems.
Then how do you get Jesus to dwell
in your heart? Jesus said, “Here I am! I stand at the door
and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat
with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20
Jesus is knocking at the door
today. He want you to open the door and he wants to have a relationship with you. Just
tell Him, “Jesus, I need you. I sometimes cannot control myself. I want to change
my life. Come into my heart and dwell in me.”
