Well, for Sunday-School at my Church, we recently began a study called "The Vertical Church," which is to point Churches back in the diretion of God. One of the first things we learned was this startling truth:
We are all the same.
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, we are all the same. This doesn't sit easy, does it? That is because for years we have been taught by every social media outlet possible that we are special, unique, like snow-flakes. That we must like for our own uniqueness. And certainly God created us differently so that we could reflect his Glory in different ways, (for reflecting God's Glory is the sole reason that all creation exists, but that is a discussion for another time) but underneath all that, at the very core, we are all the same.
We all long for something outside of and greater than ourselves. We long for transcendence, something completely outside of the realm of normal human experience. God has put this longing in our hearts, so that we have it whether we know it or not. We try to stuff it full, by money, or friends, or forbidden pleasures. We try to ignore it, but it never goes away.
You'll have to wait until next time to find out how to fill the hole.
