God-shaped hole

Sometimes I can characterize time periods in my life by a certain song or by a certain artist. I recently rediscovered this song from a very distinct time period in my life. I was lost, empty, sad...everything was gray. Then a friend gave me this CD, and I listened and re-listened and re-listened. And for the first time in my life God began to speak to me. I wasn't saved until probably a month or more later, but I very distinctly remember feeling the reality of God being personal when I first heard this song and the others on the CD. I fell asleep listening to them and listened to them when I woke up. Could it really be that God was real? Could it really be that He would be willing to be at peace with me? Could it really be that He was actually the One seeking me?

There is a God-shaped hole in all of us. And it is a void that only He can fill. I still feel gray sometimes. Sometimes I even feel lost and empty and sad. And He's still the only One who can fill the void. And He can. And He does. I love You, King Jesus.
