Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.<\/p>\n

I was recently reflecting about when my dad passed away.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t explain how I felt at first. But looking back, I remembered my mom talking about the expression I had on my face, and how I yelled when he took his last breath, \u201cmy Papa\u2019s gone!\u201d.<\/p>\n

At that moment, I felt something leave me and I didn\u2019t quite understand it for a long time.<\/p>\n

It was a year and a half later that I found myself on my knees asking God to help me learn to live without my father. You see, when a person has a big presence in our lives, it fills a part of us.<\/p>\n

When someone we love leaves us, there is an empty spot. That spot remains empty until we fill it with something comparable.<\/p>\n

For some it\u2019s our work. For others it\u2019s spending money, or dating. For others, it may be starting a project. Or we may try to fill it by overeating or drinking.<\/p>\n

We will fill it with anything that will bring comfort there once again.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not terrible to want to fill that empty void that was left by their absence.<\/p>\n

However, I found with me that everything I was doing was not helping me. I couldn\u2019t even enjoy some of the great blessings God was bringing me. My heart needed healing.<\/p>\n

I cried out to God because no matter what I did, I couldn\u2019t make that spot fill up. When I asked God to help me, He came and filled it with what was missing.<\/p>\n

Only God knows what we need when we lose someone or something dear to us.<\/p>\n

What this world offers will never fill that void. It can’t.<\/p>\n

But if we surrender that empty spot to Him, He will come and pour the exact amount of what we are missing right into that spot!<\/p>\n

God is faithful to take care of that spot! His joy comes in the morning.<\/p>\n

Psalm 30:5 (NKJV) 5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.<\/p>\n
