Its

the

Vacuum

Inside

and u wanna fill it…

hey, doesn’t it sound crazy? Whazzit all bout? What on earth is the vacuum inside? yup, u may find those words crazy, but they are very much true in everyone’s lives. Lets look at some of those guys who made a lot in life, but found vacuum at the end.

“I was lost and alone, trying to grope, making my way down the long winding road,” sang the back street boys.

Tennis idol Boris Becker once said "I won
Wimbledon twice, once as the youngest player. I was rich...I had all the material possessions I needed...It is the old song of the movie stars and the pop stars who commit suicide, they have everything and yet they are so unhappy. I had no inner peace. I was a puppet in the string!"

Funny movies super star Jim Carey battled all through his life with lack of love and loneliness.
Australia’s great comedian Graham Kennedy, who passed away, recently shared the same cup.

Alexander the Great emperor, died young, and before dying, he requested his generals to carry him in a coffin with his hands out and shout “Alexander the great came empty handed, conquered the world, left empty handed.”

Arthur Miller, third and most loved husband of Marilyn Monroe, the idol of the century, said, “all that she craved in life was for love and no man could give her.”

Hey, now did u get it? Even you have that vacuum. Don’t you? And we try to fill this vacuum with all that interests us and makes us happy. These interests may lie in studies, money, friends, sex, boozing, partying, & the list goes on. But at the end of the day all that remains is VACUUM. Isn’t it? A serious question!
How to fill this vacuum??

French Physicist, Philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal put it right and straight when he said "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" The Bible says that we are made in God’s image and by the virtue of our sin, we have the vacuum in our hearts and we have forgotten to fill this with God, who revealed Himself as Jesus who paid the penalty for our sins, so that we can get rid of the burden of sin and also the vacuum inside.

He loved us so much, even now He wants to come in to your heart and give you peace, satisfaction and eternal life. His offer to you today is straight. He said "Are you tired? Worn out? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover with me!" (Math
9:37,38 EPV).


This isn't a call to join a religion. No religion can plug that vacuum in your soul. Only Christ can. He also said, "I will never drive away anyone who comes to me!" (Jn 6:37). Why don’t you let Him in? Just say this prayer from the bottom of your heart. “Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. The vacuum in my heart is because I have sinned against you. Please forgive me. I repent from my sin. Thank you for dying for me on that hill and rising up again. Cleanse me with your blood, which you shed for me! I promise to live for you - with you helping me out. So be it!"

If that was your prayer, surely Jesus has come into your heart and you will start enjoying His peace. He will help you overcome sin and will be with you in all that you do. Thatz the salvation He gives. Free of cost. Isn’t a great deal eh! You may miss it forever if you miss it now…come on mate, you gotta accept Him now.
