there's a hole
in every human heart
A woman was drawing water
at a well. Jesus said to her,
"Whoever drinks this water will
get thirsty again, but whoever
drinks the water that I will give
will never be thirsty again."
"Sir," the woman said, "Give
me that water! John 4:13-14
Theologian Frank Sheed says:
"Everywhere people are crying
out for hope and meaning in
life. They have a spiritual thirst
that needs to be satisfied."
So how does the world
address their need?" It says:
"Here's a cell phone! Here's
the Internet! It tries to distract
people from their spiritual thirst,
much as we give a baby candy
to distract it from crying for its
mother." Sheed concludes:
"The stream of inventions has
served extraordinarily well to
keep people occupied, to keep
them from remembering what
is troubling them."
To what extent might I find
myself trying to satisfy a
spiritual hunger and thirst
with material food and drink?
There's a hole
in every human heart
that only God
can fill.

主耶穌,感謝祢!我愛物質,但也沒有忘記靈魂的事。主,若果我忘記,請祢寬恕我,提醒我。當然我喜歡我的坐架,我的小屋,我的相機,我的電腦。因為沒有了它們,我的生活就很不同。但這些不是我生命的一切。主,祢的帶領才是最重要,幫助我聽到祢的聲音。
以上所求是靠主基督之名。亞孟!
主祐,JC上
