Emptiness? - Only one thing can fill the emptiness

Emptiness?

 

Is there anything

that does not leave me empty

when I have a problem?


Everything I know

is mere superficial distraction.


Where do I find answers

for my hurting soul?


I run from one dead end

to the next.


So many decisions that I made

turned out to be traps.

Great was the temptation

but when I gave into it

I found even greater pain in my heart.


Is there nothing

that can carry me through,

not anything I can truly hold on to?


Distractions of any kind

pop like soap bubbles.


Religion does not do me any good.

It only lets me sink down

in feelings of guilt.


Human words are nowhere close

to being good enough

to bring me back on the right track.


I’m looking for more;

something that cleanses me,

something that restores me,

something that touches my soul.


After searching for a long time

I finally found what I was looking for.

However I had to first tear down

walls of prejudice and rejection.


Only after I started to search

for answers in the Bible

did I notice

that it is a way for salvation

and not actually a religion.


The words in it finally touched

my starving and empty heart

like nothing else in this world.


But in order to experience that

I had to open myself up

to the incredible love

that only God brings to me.


Only after I began to believe

did I experience true hope,

forgiveness, and a new perspective

in my life.


I have tried many things

for a long time

and remained empty inside.


Everything but the Bible.


Now I know it is more

then mere religion.

In it are God’s healing words

for all men

and they are valid for me too!

Psalms 113:7 (The Israel Bible)

He raises the poor from the dust, lifts up the needy from the refuse heap

 

Jeremiah 29:11-14a (The Israel Bible)

For I am mindful of the plans I have made concerning you—declares Hashem—plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a hopeful future. 12 When you call Me, and come and pray to Me, I will give heed to you. 13 You will search for Me and find Me, if only you seek Me wholeheartedly. 14 I will be at hand for you—declares Hashem—and I will restore your fortunes. …

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
