filling the god-shaped hole

We humans have been hardwired with normal tendencies to like the things God has made and done. Unfortunately, we rarely attribute these things to God.

You like poetry? Your life is a poem. Reference "we are Gods workmanship" where in Greek 'workmanship' is 'poema' or poem.
You like romances? We are the bride and JC is the bridegroom - the husband who knows you inside and out, and always remembers your birthday :) !! Seriously, this is the best one of all.
You like epics? The story of history is an epic, with God restoring his people and earth in the last days.
You like adventures? Read "God Smuggler" by brother Andrew or any of many other books. Or just talk to a modern missionary. Following God is nerve wrecking and amazing!
You like war stuff? Revelations 14:20 "...and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia." That's 17 trillion cubit feet of blood. ... But watch yourself on this one. God's has a lot more amazing things for you than rolling heads.

Everything that makes your heart pump with energy and emotion, God made it all. All of it will be fulfilled a thousandfold stronger than we can possibly imagine on earth. God designed us with a yearning for his amazing plans. AHHHHH! If only I could run around the room with this keyboard...!!!!
Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. OK? God of the UNIVERSE! Huge intense mass, yet so personal that his word divides soul from spirit... AHHHH!
"Oh the plans I have for you - declares the Lord." "They will be my people and I will be their God." "I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Christs love is a burning jealous passion like boiling acid flowing lava silver poison thread murder inferno torching amazingness!
There is a reason we won't see him face to face until we get resurrected bodies. We couldn't handle it otherwise!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ok.
I should go read Ecclesiastes to calm myself down.
