No matter how hard we try we cannot fill up the emptiness that lies within us. God created that longing in us and we try to fill it up with worldly stuff. Some of what we sow into our lives grows and grows and we are pregnant with worldly stuff that when it is born is pure rubbish and does nothing but cause us pain and shame.
But when we fill that hole with Jesus we birth peace into our lives.
17 You witnessed us twist and turn before You, O Eternal,
like a birthing woman in agony of labor.
18 We were that woman, laboring to deliver,
but we gave birth only to futility and emptiness.
We couldn’t deliver the earth, save it, renew it.
We couldn’t make it teem with life.
19 But Your dead will live; their lifeless bodies will rise up again!
You who sleep in the dust, get up and shout for joy!
The dew of a new day will wash you glistening fresh,
and the earth will push forth those who had passed before.
Isaiah 26 17-19 The Voice Bible.
