There a silly commercial on TV trying to convince you how easy it is to do one’s tax returns. A Nobel laureate tries to educate a young man that zero means nothing.
It got me thinking after it aired about the hundredth time. Sometimes one can feel empty, feel like there is nothing left to his/her existence, and that he/she is all alone.
Maybe that is why the Bible says that in the beginning the earth was a formless void— intimating that there was nothing, yet there was still God. God still exists in nothingness.
God is still present in our times of emptiness, loneliness, or wondering why we continue to exist. He is there to bring companionship to our lonlieness, comfort and substance to our feeling of emptiness, and meaning to our existence.
Nothing doesn’t exist, there is always one.
