Many people sense an empty place within us. We fill our days, our lives with things to try to fill that emptiness. Success, money, fame, power, alcohol, drugs, adventure, etc. Much of what we use to fill the emptiness leads in the very short term to some very negative consequences. There have been those that lived the life of "elites" that have said at the end of their lives how empty and meaningless their lives have been. If one fills the hole with God, the emptiness reportedly goes away. There is no promise of a trouble free life either way just a better eternal outcome.
