The Hunt For ... Something

It's that void - you know the one I mean. That hole deep in one's being that seems to never be filled.

We try. Oh how we try.

Food, alcohol, sex, drugs, money...

Maybe it's this town. It's too small.

Maybe my spouse is the problem. Yes. That must be it. They must not be my soulmate.

It's this job. I'm not fulfilled here either. Not enough money in it. Yes. That's it. 

Let's try this...this...this...

We keep searching, trying, hunting for something to fill that void. That deep hole in our soul. We are thirsty. Our soul is thirsty.

Soul thirst.

Thirsty for something we struggle to fill with the things around us. Things the world tells us will "complete me".

A thirst only Grace can quench.
