Empty inside
Remembering back on one Easter morning when David was a young child. I had bought him an Easter basket, which had a chocolate bunny. I remember watching as he pulled the cellophane paper from the basket, and opened the box with the bunny. Chocolate bunny in hand, he bit into one of the bunnies ears. Upon doing so, he looks at me and says, it's empty. His expectations were no doubt dashed. The hollow bunny brought no joy to my disappointed son.
We as human beings often grasp for the sweet things, the possessions, the power, and pleasure that we find in life. But without the Lord in our lives, our lives can seem to be empty, just as the little choclate bunny was. Solomon, talked about this in his written sermon in ecclesiastics. Late in life, Solomon realized that he had lived his life, living for possessions, power, influence and pleasures. He describes it all as vanity. Solomon realized that life is short, and that things fade away. The only real thing, truly is our relationship with the Lord. Our spiritual gifts will not fade away. Our spiritual blessings are eternal. Earthly things will rust and degrade, and will disappear from sight. But all spiritual blessings and gifts we will have through out eternity.
So when you feel as if your life is as an empty chocolate bunny, consider the fact that we all need Jesus, in our lives, to make our lives full and complete.
Until next time God bless and God save.
