Good morning and happy Monday. Visiting with a friend yesterday who had his leg amputated recently, and he was having some phantom pains. He said his missing foot was hurting. He joked that his legs were crossed, but one day in PT he could feel his foot on the floor and his shoe was too tight. It's amazing how the body works and what it does and feels. With tha,t it made me think about the tribes of people who are found performing rituals to a god they worship. They know that something is missing and they can feel it. It's a part of them that they can't see but still feel. It's the same for us as we know too something is missing. We've tried to fill it with everything but to no avail. We feel our heart longing for something but we just can't find it. It's God and He is all that will ever fill that void because He put Himself there as a part of us. He gave us the choice to keep Him there. For many of us we live a long time without anything there and feel the pains of the missing part the whole time. What great joy and comfort it is when we allow ourselves to be filled with the Spirit of God. Call me a quack but it hasn't been proven wrong in thousands of years. And trust me, I've done my own experiments in what can and cannot fill the void. Thank you God for letting me make it to the day I filled it with you. In love always. <><
