So, is there a God?

This is surely a fundamental question that pretty well all humans have thought about throughout human history. The vast amount of religions are a testimony to the human tendency to grasp at the divine. This in itself is probably the strongest testimony to God'’s existence. It can be said that all humans have an innate desire; an emptiness that they feel must be filled. The human quest for power, riches, sensual pleasure, security, fame and indulgence in natural pleasures is a response to the heartfelt desire for a higher goodness. Temporal pleasures and even natural love is often short-lived and ultimately unfulfilled. As humans indulge in their passions their desires continue to go unfulfilled. Many attempt to fill the void with increasing worldly pleasures with little results.

Such powerful and elusive desires are a cry from the soul which looks for something that can't be gratified by the things of this world. Consider discontent of the heart as a mark of God calling us to embrace him.
