The Weight of Empty Things

The Weight of Empty Things - student project

Hook
What if… God was real,
but you just never noticed?

Because if He was,
it would explain why people spend their whole lives searching.

Setup
People spend their whole lives searching.

For love,
For meaning,
For purpose.
For something… that finally makes them feel complete.

Maybe that’s why we chases moments,
collecting memories
as if they would last forever.

But they never do…
and deep down, we already know it.

Because the moment life gets quiet,
we start asking questions
we don’t know the answer to.

Like.. 
Why do we live in the past? 
Or
Why do we cling to what was?

But in those moments of silence…
We begin to feel something we try to ignore.
That something is missing.

So we distract ourselves.
We move.
We chase.
We laugh 
We fill the silence.

But it never really goes away.

Build
Yet, nothing will ever satisfy us. 
Not success.
Not relationships.
Not money.
Not memories.

Everything fades.

No matter how much we experience,
achieve,
or become…

that emptiness always returns.

And maybe the real question is—

Why?... 

Why do we all hunger for something
this world can never seem to give?

What exactly are we chasing…
if nothing ever stays?

And when I finally sat with that thought…

something in me started to shift.

Change 
I no longer saw people of faith as something to dismiss

They carried something I didn’t understand.. 

not something they created…
but something they were connected to.

and it made me question everything I thought I knew.

I had been searching in the wrong direction- 

not just for meaning in life,
but for the source of it.

And slowly I began to understand—

that my entire life
had been searching for Him who gives all things without me even realizing it.

Then He found me—
when I finally realized
that nothing in this world
could fill what was missing inside me.

Reflection
And for the first time,
I stood still.

In that stillness,
I stopped craving the things
I could never hold onto.

Because I found Someone
who provided everything I needed.

and in Him,
The searching finally ended.

So if you ask me—

Do I believe in God?

How could I not?
