doodles on hunger

I was reading the book Searching Issues by Nicky Gumbel to prepare for the Alpha course.  It's a book that contains the seven most common questions raised about Christianity during the course.

I came across a question asking "What about other religions?"
I won't put an in depth explanation here to talk you into becoming a Christian, but I think everyone has a hunger to know what is the purpose of life?  Where are we heading to?
At different stages of life, we set goals, we meet them... and we set higher goals... until one day, you may find that it's not what you want at all... 

Then what do we want?  Why are we here?  There always seems to be a gap in our hearts that we need to fill, that is why we are never satisfied, we always try to fill that gap with different things: money, power, love etc etc...

But nothing seems to work... why do we always have this feeling of emptiness in our hearts?  What do we need to fill that gap in our heart?  Deep down no one is satisfied by earthly riches, we know there is more to life.  In every heart there is a hunger for God, but not everyone knows about it.
So we try to feed our hunger with familiar things, i want more of this, more of that.... but we never have enough....

So how can we fill the gap in our heart?

Blaise Pascal, a French scientist and philosopher, says this:
"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus."

A God shaped gap can only be filled by God Himself, and Jesus is the only way to God.
The great thing about being a Christian is that we can personally know Jesus, and He can satisfy our hunger, for Jesus is the Bread of Life.

Let's talk more about the Bread of Life next time  :)

I filled in a bit of color this time  :)

almost daily doodle- on trouble

I'm finally back!!  Sorry I haven't been doodling lately....  I've been busy with the TKO project during Easter!!

I was originally planning to do a Easter special... but I didn't had time to do that.. :(

Lots of things have been happening lately... some bad.. some okay... mostly good!

The bads are mostly stuff at work....  these illustrations are my night time job... I have to design stuff that I don't really care about during the day, and lately it has been taking more time than I would like and it's draining all my energy... with no energy to do anything constructive after work, I think a lot... about the future.. about the path I should take... I worry about this and that... what if... what if....?


We have so many troubles and worries daily...... we think about all kinds of situations and all possiblities...
we worry about everything...
it just reminded me of these verses from the Bible..

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink;
or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

.........
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 6: 25-34
