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  :)
