Red Velvet Cupcake

So the Lord has been laying food examples on my heart lately.  The other night when I was spending time with Him I thought of this one.

Okay, red velvet cupcakes.  You know how they have a hollowed out center, which is perfectly carved out for that amazing cream cheese filling?  That is exactly how God made us.  He carved out a place inside of us, He placed a void in our hearts that is perfectly carved our for Jesus, our cream cheese filling.  If you try and put relish, hot sauce, cottage cheese, any other kind of filling in a red velvet cupcake it will be horribly unsatisfying and you will keep searching for the perfect filling until you find it.  These fillings in life can be money, sex, material things, other relationships, personal accomplishments.  If you try and fill the void in your heart with anything other than Jesus, you will not be satisfied, because He made us in His image and likeness to be filled by Him.  Of course anything else you try and fill it with will taste awful, because Jesus is that cream cheese filling :)

"If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light." 
- Luke 11:36

"If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying." 
- Proverbs 3:2
