Of the God-shaped Hole

Of the God-shaped Hole

Wah’li’si was a woman of High Rock whom the Timeless-One had blessed with an extra portion of His Fire. Her singing blessed all those who heard her, and her dancing greatly pleased the Timeless-One. Her beauty was pure and she looked as though she had bathed in light. At thirty years of age, she was a leader among the women. All the young girls wanted to grow up to be just like her. “Desire the Timeless-One, for He will give you the fire. Desire me, and you will always want,” she would softly tell them.

The above is taken from, “The Contest” from The Caleb Chronicles.

Wah'li'si is based on my wife, Claudine. Wah'li'si is Claudine's Cherokee name and means, “Sweet as a honeydew”. Wah'li'si is the spiritual leader to the children of High-Rock. She is a dancer, a singer and a warrior.
In the book I'm working on now, Wah'li'si uses more of her native language. It's a challenge to write using the Cherokee words, and it's fun as well.
Here, Wah'li'si says, “Desire the Timeless-One, for He will give you the fire. Desire me, and you will always want.” If we desire anything over the Timeless-One, over Yeshuah Jesus, over His Mighty Holy Spirit we will always be in want. We will always be searching for something to fill that God-shaped hole in our heart. Oh, and there is absolutely nothing that can fill that hole like the One Who made it.
Psalm 73:25, 26 Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. (NLT)

Exo 15:11 "Who is like You among the gods, O LORD? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders?

Desire the only God that works wonders, that creates and doesn't imitate.
Desire the only God that has eyes that see, for His eyes see into our innermost being, into our very soul.
Desire the only God that has ears that hear, for He hears our silent, sighs and groans, and our very thoughts.
Desire the only God that has a mouth that speaks, for He says, “I love you.”
Desire the only God that has a heart, for His heart beats with a rhythm that keeps the universe in motion.

Desire the Timeless-One for He can fill the God-shaped hole.
