The “Nobodies” that impede our progress in the Kingdom Hearts games are a truly tragic group of opponents. They are beings who are made up of a body and soul, but unfortunately they don’t possess a heart. Due to their missing heart, it isn’t surprising that they make life more difficult for Sora and his friends… these adversaries are simply seeking what they are lacking from the wrong places and serving a villain who is manipulating those desires into performing his bidding. But being a “Nobody” isn’t a hopeless case… Axel, Roxas, and Namine were all restored as whole beings because Sora cared enough to move past the challenges that they caused for him and instead helped each of them become the “Somebody” they were always destined to be. 

As beings created by the Father for fellowship with Him, we have all been designed to live in His presence… and without His active presence in our lives there is a massive empty spot inside us that can’t be filled by anything else. Until I received His grace, I spent my life feeling like a “Nobody” and wasted an enormous amount of time and effort seeking to fill that missing part with all the wrong solutions. Rather than judge others for the ways they have tried to fill the God-shaped hole in their hearts, let’s show mercy and compassion as we lead them to the hope that we’ve found.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:5-6
