Everyone is Born With a Hole in Their Heart

This morning I heard this on radio and want to share the thoughts that went with it because I have been thinking about related matters.

The man on the radio said doctors had told him all of us have a hole in our heart when born. A blood vessel enters the heart from the mother to pump blood prior to birth but soon after birth it closes. Some folks have to have surgery to close that opening if it does not properly seal.

Then he stated we are all born with a spiritual hole in our heart.
- We spend our lives trying to fill the spiritual hole:
- by relationships
- entertainment
- money
- things
- sex
- drugs

Until the day comes we accept the notion it can never be filled.

As Christians we know the hole to our heart is only filled by surrender to Jesus Christ!

This relates to a pattern of thought I have been dealing with in regard to how much are we having to fill our lives with entertainment. With all the sources of being entertained it is becoming a bit frightening - even among Christians.
