One of my dear friends from Church shared this poem with me yesterday. It served as a refreshing reminder that the things of this world are empty, and only Christ can satisfy your desires. People are often seeking for material things to fulfill the deepest longings of their hearts. We are born with a stinging void in our hearts that yearns to be fulfilled by something or someone. However, we usually turn away from the open arms of God and seek after the worldly things to satisfy us. The author of this passage (Bethany Spence) beautifully portrays the longing of a young girl's heart as she discovers the only One who can fulfill her. Filled
by Bethany Spence
She sits and she wonders
Who will it be?
Who is the right one
Who truly loves me?
For years now she's searched
But was never satisfied
While searching she realized
She's empty inside
She found no one to fill her
No one like she's dreamed
Every one worth nothing
All shallow, it seemed
So she sits and she ponders
On a bench at the park
What will he look like
The boy who wins my heart?
Lovesick, she sighs
When out of the blue
Came a lonely old woman
"May I sit beside you?"
She nodded and made room
The the woman began to speak
She spoke of Jesus
And tears fell down her cheeks
"He love you", she said
And she gave her a smile
"He laid it on my heart today
To talk to you for a while."
The the woman got up
And left her alone
She was crying and shaking
How could she not have known?
It was Jesus who loved her
His name she repeated
And right then she knew
It was Him that she needed
So she bowed her head
Her heart ready to be spilled
And from that moment on
To the brim she was filled.
