There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man. Blaise Pascal

Maybe you haven't learned to call it a "God-shaped vacuum," but Pascal, a brilliant philosopher, noticed a common fact of existence... there's a spiritual dimension in each of us, waiting to be satisfied. Everyone tries to fill this void; if not with God, then with something else...relationships, money, career, GAP clothing...fill in the blank. The insatiable, unsatisfied desires of our hearts reveal that we are all missing God, even if we haven't labeled the longing like Pascal did. Have you ever wanted to know God? For a moment at least, consider the possibility that your spirit has always been longing for Him.

Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

Are you tired of chasing after different things to fill the God-shaped vacuum in your heart?
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Psalm 147:3 (NIV)

Do you count yourself as one of life's "walking wounded"?
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

John 10:10 (NIV)

Do you long to experience life at its best?
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Beginning a relationship with God may be as simple as A B C.

A. Admit that you are in need of His forgiveness.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

B. Believe by faith that He is able to do what He said He would do.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life John 3:16

C. Confess

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
