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.

Afraid to Write

Jennifred Jones

We all have something important inside of us that needs to come out for the good of humanity. We want to say it, we want to write it, but we hold back….Why?

I fight these feelings all the time, as evidenced by the lulls in writing. Perhaps it’s fear that what I say or think isn’t that important so just better keep it to yourself. It’s not all that important otherwise somebody else would have said it…but what if you are that somebody?  What if you are the somebody who with your words could impact another in a way to change our world for the better? Think Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Oprah and the list goes on.

Well, I’m nobody like them; however they began as nobodies and kept speaking their heart and change began. Every river begins with a small underground trickle which becomes a stream, a creek and eventually the river they flow into.

Don’t dam up your words, your well, which wants to flow sending good waters to thirsty weary people dying inside for affection, attention, approval, encouragement they need. You can help quench their thirst and cause them to grow again.

Actually, I wrote this article about myself. I have been holding back the waters in my well, fighting what might come out, whether people would like the water I provide.

Join me now.

Let’s unclog our wells and send healing waters of words to the people around us.
