The Black Hole

"Theres a hole in my soul that wont heal"

This lyric is from a track on Kirk Franklin's Hero Album. Have you ever wondered how you feel alive and full during a church service on Sunday but the aura wears off as the week progresses and you feel empty again. Its as if the presence of God fills you up, but as the week progresses do you start running out of gas. You are bombarded with thougths, pressures, temptations that you easily lose your way.

"Theres a hole in my soul that wont heal"

Yes we all know that God has put a desire in us for him and a relationship with him is the path to fulfilling it. But that desire, that void, that hole doesnt seem to understand its role. Like the black hole in space it seems to suck in anything it interfaces. Temptations, thoughts and vices in its wake. But the more it sucks in its still not enough.

"Theres a hole in my soul that wont heal"

So how do you fill a black hole? How do you screen what tries to enter it? How do you keep your thoughts focussed on God amidst all the temptations we face in our lives? How do you win a losing battle against your human nature?
