Free! to Live

She held up a child's shape sorter ball.

"We are like this -- born with a God-shaped hole in our core. "

"The emptiness gnaws at us. The gap won't close"

She lifted up a yellow shape block.

"We try to force other things, other shapes, into the hole to complete what's missing."

"Alcohol...Drugs...Food...Relationships...Shopping...But nothing else fits because nothing else is God."

She held up the yellow heart-shaped block that matched the heart-shaped hole. It slipped right into place.

"But God can close the gap. He can fill the emptiness full. He wants to."
