Nothing

Nothing
will ever fill
the void
inside us,
the God shaped hole
made for Him.

We can cram it
with anything else,
yet satisfaction
will slip like sand
through every part of us.

We are made in the
image of God,
for friendship with God,
to walk in the purposes of God.

We still strike out
on our circular path,
striving for significance,
longing to own
more of this transitory life.

Nothing will make
perfect sense apart
from knowing who
we are in Him,
and for Him,
for we are His creation.

Only when we say
Yes Lord
do we realize
that nothing
can separate us
from His love and life,
that perfectly fills
the void
in you and I.
