To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God.

Calling Your Heart

 So near you, and you pay Him no mind.  You feel alone, and yet He's right next to you.  You question and He is the answer.  You hurt and He can heal.  You're scared yet He wants to comfort.  You're hungry and He waits to feed you.  You're needing wisdom and He's there to give it.   He's patient....waiting.  You feel let down...He's waiting to lift you up.  You need only to give Him your attention.  Give Him your life, invite Him in.  God wants a relationship with you.  You are a child created by the Master Craftsman.  Do you know how much He loves you?  His son was sent to die in your place.  A penalty for your sin.  And, His only son...His arms out stretched...on a wooden cross.  Of whom was He thinking when His son died....He thought of you.  YOU.  He saw your face.   It was for you that He allowed His son to die.  In that death the cavern created by sin breached so you could then be with Him.   And it's you He so desperately wants to share that with.  He's patiently waiting.  
  You have a choice.  You can choose Him.  If you choose Him, your life will take on a whole new meaning: a radical transformation of healing and wholeness.
  You can also choose to walk away, but know that living apart from Him now will be eternal.
  Your heart was created to be with Him...to praise Him...to be filled with His power and His love.  You were created to be completely and thoroughly loved, by an awesome majestic Father.  He knows your name....He planned you before the beginning of time.  He knows the number of hairs on your head....He's counted the number of tears you've ever cried.  He knows you....completely and thoroughly.  He know every thought you've ever had...every good or hateful thing you've ever done.  He knows you better than you know yourself, because He created you.  You...His masterpiece.   He thoroughly knows you and yet He STILL loves you.  And He gives you a choice as forced love is not true love.  At this moment, He's calling your name.   Answer Him before its too late.  He loves you.  You are precious to Him.  Run into the embrace He's offering you.  He's offering to shelter you from the waves, share your joys, give you wisdom for the journey and to save your soul.  You are loved....so thoroughly loved.
