It's your call

"Draw near to God and he will draw near to you." James 4:8
The Scripture depicts the Lord as the seeking Shepherd who will relentlessly pursue those who are lost. But the 'found' are asked to "seek his face", to "draw near", to "seek him with all your heart". This is because he now responds not to our helplessness, but our HUNGER.
This is my challenge at present. Not filling the spaces but giving them to him to fill.

How much do you want what he has for you? How much value do you place on his presence or his power in your life? Will you pursue him until you take hold of him in a way that transforms your life? This will mean setting aside time to work together on what he has shown you. Take an hour or two this week to do this. Pray the Scriptures. Tell him you MUST meet him as Abba, Daddy and know his fondest love. Every night as you are going to sleep keep crying out for his Spirit to reveal to your deepest heart this perfect love. Don't settle for less than your birthright - your inheritance.

It is easy to give mental assent to something new that the Lord says to us, and file it away as "a good truth". This is like getting your main course and displaying it in a cabinet! How do we 'eat' the truth until it becomes a part of us? We pray it - we chew on it - we keep it before us, asking the Spirit to make it a heart reality, not just a head understanding. When we 'hunger and thirst' after him, he will come to us. LORD MAKE US A HUNGRY PEOPLE
