    I had a hole in my heart. My doctor said
 it was "congenital" which  he said  meant I
 was born with it that way.  He told me that
 was why I became tired so easily and  could
 not do the things other children could do. 
 _________________                          
 |               |  But he also said he knew
 |  .e0e. .e0e.  | a doctor who could fix my
 |  00000vXXX00  | heart by sewing the  hole
 |  `00000XXX0'  | closed.  My heart is  now
 |    `00000'    | good as new thanks to the
 |      `V'      | special heart doctor. But
 |_______________| later on I  discovered  I
 had another  hole in my heart -a  different
 kind of hole. It was not a physical one the
 doctors could sew shut.  It was a spiritual
 hole and it gave me an empty  feeling  like
 something was missing from my life.        

   I tried to fill it with friends. But when
 they didn't  always do what I wanted to do,
 the empty ache was still there. Sometimes I
 tried  to fill it by getting even  when  my
 friends made me sad, but that only made the
 feeling worse.                             

  Then I read somewhere  _________________
 that everyone has this  |               |
 hole in the  heart and  |  .e0e. .e0e.  |
 God  made every  heart  |  00000v()000  |
 this way.  The  writer  |  `00000[]00'  |
 explained this hole is  |    `000/\'    |
 not round. It's shaped  |      `V'      |
 like God's Son, Jesus,  |_______________|
 and Jesus is the only  person who  can fill
 it.  What I needed was to ask Jesus to come
 into my heart and fill the empty hole,  and
 to forgive me for trying to fill it without
 Him. I also  needed to ask for  forgiveness
 for trying to fill MY hole with bad things.

    So I asked  Jesus to come into  my heart
 -and He did. I also asked Him to make every
 day of my life  full and complete and He is
 doing exactly that.  Jesus will fill a hole
 in your  heart, too, if you ask Him. I hope
 you do.
