Come to Jesus

"Weak and wounded sinner, lost and left to die, raise your head for Love is passing by. Come to Jesus... and live." Chris Rice, Christian Musician.

It's a wonderful thing to know that God will never let you down, and if you seek Him, you will find Him. I've been away for far too long, sadly, and this to my self-inflicted demise, is exactly the place I need to be. I need the Lord in my life. I need Jesus in my life. I don't know why I go away for such long periods, when I know the truth, and the promises God delivers, yet I fail to recognize them. Why do I need to be this way.

Maybe our blessings come through hardships and deep sorrow. Laura Story, another Christian Musician says this exact thing in her song "Blessings". Who are we to say that God isn't showing Himself and His mercy through the trials of this life, healing through tears, the storms of life. Would we turn to Him otherwise? I don't think we would, or certainly not all of us.

It's an emotional time right now with being away for some time. I long to be there. I think of my Dad who's passed now, and long to be there with him again. I would love to hear his voice again. It's been so very long. This world isn't where we should want to be. God's kingdom, His glorious kingdom, with its peace and love surrounding our hearts and souls, this is where we should all want to be. If I go before those who know me, do not grieve for me, not one tear. Know where I am, and know that I am with God. I will be the one celebrating and leading the way for you. If I am the last to leave, know that the pain will be unbearable, and not something I want to experience. Believe in the Lord, and lead me and I will let God's mercy come through the tears and heal me, until we meet again. Ask Jesus into your heart today.

And remember that when the sky is dark and life pours the rain of hurt and pain, Cry to Jesus...and Live.
