Sylvia Plath was an American poet and author who often described the emptiness of life from her perspective as a non-Christian. On one occasion, she wrote, “I felt very still and very empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel.”

God created you with a place in your heart only He can fill. Meaning in life is found in a relationship with our Creator—the Almighty God—through Jesus Christ who died to save us and to restore our relationship with the Father. God wants us to live our lives joyously, and part of doing that is fearing (revering) Him and keeping His commands. Our joy, peace, and enthusiasm in life is directly proportional to our obedience to God and our reverence for who He is.

If you haven’t already, give Him total control over your life. Let Him be your Lord and Savior today. You will find the missing joy and peace you’ve been searching for.

When you accept the fact that sometimes seasons are dry and times are hard and that God is in control of both, you will discover a sense of divine refuge, because the hope then is in God and not in yourself.
