To Fill Voids

"All sins are attempts to fill voids." - Simone Weil, philosopher


I used to feel as if I had a great big hole inside of me that couldn't be filled up no matter what. I did everything I could to take the focus off of myself and look to fill the void with "things" and "people". It didn't work. In fact, this approach failed miserably.

At a certain point, I hit a bottom and realized I needed to change my thinking and my actions. I really don't have a void within me - there is a Spirit or Power or inner voice within me that fills me up completely. Once I found this power, my life turned around completely. I don't have to attempt to fill a hole that doesn't exist. And that is a miracle for me.

Today I know that I don't need to act badly in order to fill any voids within me. Today I choose to act in a kind and loving way to all I meet. The blessings always come when I put others first. I am grateful.
