你曾觉得不满足、下沉甚至空虚，就在你得到你以为能让你感到快乐的事物以后吗？
你并不孤单。
这种莫名的感受不但充斥于最有成就和最富有的人，也发生在最失败和最贫穷的人身上。
事实上，所罗门王拥有一切─王国、无穷的财富、无比的智能和知识─但当他回味他的一生，他竟说：日光之下并无新事，凡是都虚空。
似乎有什么东西驱使我们去寻找那个失踪的未知片段。
我们可能追求一个成功的事业、富有意义的关系、物质的财富或甚至高尚的娱乐。
但是并没有一样能解决我们里面那个莫名的虚空感。
为什么我们会有这样的感觉呢？
圣经告诉我们，神创造人有三部分。
帖撒罗尼迦前书五章23节说：「愿你们的灵、与魂、与身子得蒙保守。」
这里很清楚的给告诉我们，我们并非只有由原子组成的物质身体。
我们也有魂，可以思考、感觉和决定事情。
但藏在我们深处里有第三个部分：灵。
这个神所设计的第三部分有一个特别的性能。
我们的灵可以连结、接受和感觉神。
法国有名的科学及数学家，布莱兹‧帕斯卡说：在人里面有一个神所形塑的真空。
只有神能恰好填满这个空间。
当我们的灵是空的、没有神的时候，我们就没办法得着真实的满足；只有神是我们的灵所渴望的答案。
当神进到我们的灵里，祂自己补满了我们的空虚，成了我们真正的享受、价值、和意义。
我们终于因神永远并神圣的生命而得到永远的满足。
神经过了一连串奇妙的步骤因而能进到我们的灵里。
祂成为一个人名叫耶稣基督。
耶稣在地上过着完美的人性生活、死而除去我们的罪、被埋葬，然后从死复活。
当祂复活时，祂成了赐生命的灵，现在就可以进到人的灵里。
祂正在等待你向祂敞开。
只要把你的心转向神并这样简单的祷告：
「主耶稣，我相信祢。
我承认我是个罪人。
赦免我一切的罪。
我向祢敞开。
进到我的灵里，以祢的自己充满我。
主耶稣，我接受祢。
主阿，谢谢祢。阿们。」
Have you ever felt unsatisfied, let down, even empty, after you got what you thought would make you happy?
You are not alone.
This puzzling feeling has been known to strike the most accomplished and wealthy people as well as the less accomplished and less wealthy.
In fact, King Solomon had it all—a kingdom, untold wealth, profound wisdom and knowledge—yet after pondering his life, he said that there was nothing new under the sun. Everything was vanity.
It is as if something compels us to find the elusive missing piece.
We may pursue a successful career, meaningful relationships, material possessions, or even fun and entertainment.
But nothing cures that mysterious empty feeling way down inside.
Why do we feel this way?
The Bible shows us that God created man with three parts.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 says: "May your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete".
It is clear that we are not just a physical body made up of atoms.
We also have a soul to think, feel, and choose.
Yet hidden deep inside of us is a third part: our spirit.
This God-designed third part has a specific capability.
Our spirit can contact, receive, and experience God.
Blaise Pascal, the famous French scientist and mathematician, said that within mankind is a God-shaped vacuum.
Only God can fit into this vacuum.
As long as our spirit is empty, without God, we cannot obtain true satisfaction; only He can answer the longing of our third part.
When God gets into our spirit, He fills its aching emptiness with Himself as our real enjoyment, wealth, and meaning.
We are finally and lastingly satisfied with the eternal and divine life of God.
God took some monumental steps so that He could enter our spirit.
He became a man named Jesus Christ.
Jesus lived a perfect human life on the earth, died to take away our sins, was buried, and then rose from the dead.
When He resurrected, He became a life-giving Spirit and can now enter our human spirit.
He is waiting for you to open to Him.
Just turn your heart to God and pray this simple prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I believe in You.
I confess that I am a sinner.
Forgive me of all my sins.
I open to You.
Come into my spirit and fill me with Yourself.
Lord Jesus, I receive You.
Thank You, Lord. Amen."
