Sadley, babies are sometimes born with a hole in their heart. This is a difficult thing for most parents because they love their children so much and wish they could help them. I’m sure any loving parent would switch hearts with their child if they could.
Spiritually we are all born with a hole in our heart. Often we try to fill it with relationships, drugs, alcohol, sex, sports, money and/or anything else we can get our hands on. Why do we feel this lack? This unfulfilled emptiness that we think the next “thing” will be the answer for, but when it’s over we feel just as empty as when we started.
When Jesus died on the cross, God switched hearts with us. Jesus took our “hole in the heart” and gave us His heart. His heart is whole. His heart is good. His heart is love.
When we trust in Jesus and allow God’s heart to guide us, suddenly we find we don’t need to search to fill the empty hole in our hearts anymore, because we become whole and complete in Christ.
So, what is the status of your heart today? Hole or whole?
Think about it.
