The Void

The Void
By Marion Jones

In our life, we tend to look or do things to fill a void.
We will even do things when we get annoyed.

There’s a void

We go from man to man, woman-to-woman, relationship after relationship.
I’m also talking to young girls and boys; even they go through the void.

From alcohol to the crack pipe, same sex marriages and just not living right. Not believing, trusting in the Lord and His might.

There’s a void.

Letting it all hang out on different websites,
trying to get attention from others and their opinions by eyesight’s.

There’s definitely a void

The remedy is
turn it over and give it to the Lord, know whom you are from deep within.
With a sincere heart, He will forgive you of all your sins.

He will fix and fill

The Void.

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life (John 4:14). Let Him wash cleanse and fill you till you thirst no more! Don't be taken in by the things of this world that have no lasting satisfaction.
Like the old Seven Up commercial used to say: don't believe the hype! Obey your thirst!; ▶ Reply to This
