The God Void

Jennifred Jones

There is a void in each of us that can only be filled by a spiritual presence.

We are a body, soul, spirit combination. We were made this way – to seek out – to wonder how we got here – what am I here for??? Just as a child is drawn to seek out who his earthly father is, so also, he is drawn to know the Higher ‘Who’ – the Who who started everything around him.

Mankind is terribly interested in genealogy…to go back as far as he can to discover his roots…to know the different countries and civilizations he came from. We want to know our origin. We want to know the first place. We want to know where we belong! What was the soil of our land, what waters did we drink from? What was our home life and shelter like? Where were they from???

These are natural normal questions to ask and need to be asked. We have a right to know. It’s a God given desire to know and He gives us the answer. He doesn’t want us clueless! So, first things first…in the very beginning. All the little creeks, streams, tributaries and rivers of humanity lead back to one pair – Adam and Eve. They lived in a garden. It was called the Garden of Eden, designed and put together by God Himself. For whom? For God? No! – for mankind – His highest creature.

The void we feel can only be filled when we know the answer. Who am I and where did I come from. Why am I here?

We are persons and God sent a person – Jesus- God in and as a real person like us to show us who God is. So if we claim Him, He will claim us. We will become part of the family of God.

The hole inside of us can be filled. We can begin to feel good about ourselves, get unstuck and keep moving forward.

Not a Victim

Jennifred Jones

I will not be a victim. I choose to step away from the path of disempowerment.

God has given me choice.

  • Choice what to think.
  • Choice whom to be around.
  • Choice to take back a mistake.
  • Choice to move away from bad situations.
  • Choice to make new and better friends.
  • Choice to ask myself hard questions.
  • Choice to do the hard but better thing.
  • Choice whose voices I’ll listen to.
  • Choice to think if what I’m hearing is really true.
  • Choice to choose what I think is best for me.

I take full responsibility for my life and the results of my choices.

  • I choose to read and learn and study and grow.
  • I choose to take better care of me.
  • I choose to start with one small step.
  • I choose to start today.
  • I choose not to be a victim.

What If I Wanted to Know…

Jennifred Jones

What if I wanted to know but no one told me?

What if I wanted to know how to read, but no one taught me?

What if I wanted to know about cooking and finding good food, but no one showed me.

What if I wanted to know about exercise and working out, but no one would coach me.

This list could go on and on. Think of all the years wasted when helpful development could be happening in formative years.

What if I wanted to know but no one told me? … about God…

What if someone could have told me when I was growing up there is a God, not a religious god, but one who is real, the one who really did make the universe and all it contains, (including me), who sees everything and is watchful over me, who loves me, is truly interested in everything I do and think, who wants to remove all my guilt and shame, provide for my needs, make me brand new in my mind – free of worry and fear. Who wants me to understand how to do life on this earth, who wants me to grow up clean with no guilt-ridden past holding me hostage, who wants me to have meaningful relationships and even a family???

What if someone had told me, because I really wanted to know, but…

Where could I have been today?

Do not despair. God is still alive and knows just where you are. His name is Jesus and He wants you to be part of his family.

Talk to Him about you. He will talk to you about Him.
