The Better Things God Wants for our Blank Spaces

What if we knew God had better things for our blank spaces than we ever imagined?

Better than what the world has to offer. Better than the things we attempt to fill them with.

He does!

We all deal with blank spaces because seasons of life bring loss or lack in areas such as relational, spiritual, mental and emotional.

My story certianly includes blank. Blank spaces nearly succeeded at branding my childhood. They attempted to steal my joy.

And blank often overstayed its welcome and threatened to hold me hostage to the emptiness.

So I used to wonder if the God in heaven received memos from people on earth. One memo in particular from a girl wondering why He allowed her life to have blanks. Why He didn’t give her answers.

Therefore, I grew into a woman who became obsessed for any and every blank to be filled in with something—anything.

Like as a college student it bothered me to leave an unknown answer blank on a test. Even now, whether it’s a class or online training, I frantically search for what goes in the blank.

Or the need for all the lines filled in on my Bible study book. Seeing blank lines with missing answers triggers memories of a life devoid of answers.
