Empty Spaces

You know there is something to be said about empty spaces. Many days we as humans spend our time trying to fill empty spaces. There are empty spaces in our homes, wallets, our hearts and even in our heads. LOL I sit here and wonder what it was like when God stepped out of time and space and looked at the vast emptiness and declared let their be light. Sometimes, my mind goes there if I let it. Its like looking at a blank piece of paper. I have many notebooks at home filled with stories and poetry, and they all start the same. Empty pieces of paper. I imagine that an artist looks at a blank canvas the same way. It is kind of exciting just staring at the empty space, knowing that I can control or navigate the illustration or documentation of it. Call it a weird source of power. Empty spaces are created to be filled. A wine glass may look elegant sitting in a cabinet but its doesn't serve its purpose by which it was created. When it is filled with wine, then it looks complete. At least by my two cent opinion. The point is, next time you start to see something that is percieve is empty, try to imagine it being filled. The truth of the matter is that what God made emptiness for, to be filled. The trouble is we often times fill those empty spaces with things that are just as empty. Talk about a paradox. His word tells us that blessed are they who hunger and thrist for righteousness for they shall be filled. That is the catch. How to be empty, then filled and satisfied. How many things have you filled your self with, only to be empty. Have you ever been satisfied, completely? If we all would be honest the truth is muddled in a quiet no. God is the only source that completely fills. Too often we allow other people's issues and "stuff" to cloud our minds to a point we become dissatisfied. Peace and contentment are tangible items that can be obtained but too often we miss the boat on those honorable gifts and exchange them for something more empty. Just a thought. I could be just rambling but for some reason these spaces needed to be filled. Understand?
