“ He was unwilling to depart from the things that gave him status, comfort, identity, recognition, purpose, meaning, importance, and the like.”
This quote was sobering! How many times has God said “turn that off, put that away, or give that up”? And I’ve been unwilling because of the void I felt like it would produce.
But your writing gives me a different perspective on the void. It says “God fill the void with you.”
Silence and loneliness can often feel like barrenness. Out of a fear that what we give up won’t be replaced we fill our plates with anything to avoid emptiness.
But I want to be intentional about leaning into the void and asking God to be the “one thing” that Jesus said is best.
Mankind spends so much time, energy, and resources attempting to fill a void that can only be inhabited by the Lord Jesus Christ himself! Thank you for sharing your reflections Brienna!

Fill the void Jesus.
