Filling our Heart
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. 1 Thessalonians 1:9
The human heart “abhors a vacuum.” Before the Thessalonian saints left their idols, they had Someone to turn to–Someone Who was far more attractive to them than the useless idols to which they had once been so dedicated. The Lord now filled their spiritual gaze and drew them to Himself. As such their faith was spoken of by even the unbelievers. Does He mean as much to us today?
--Garry Seale
Oh how the thought of God attracts and draws the heart from earth,
And sickens it of passing shows and dissipating mirth! --F. W. Faber
