Do you know that the Father in heaven longs for you? Do you
know that He wants to fellowship with you, to abide in you to have an intimate
relationship with you? Do you not know
that God the Father sent His son down to earth to show you Himself, to share
with you His heart, to provide a way of salvation for you? Do you know that He is a friend who sticks
closer than a brother? Do you understand
the cry of the Father’s heart is for you to find him?
His love is
everlasting, not just for a day, a week, a month, but for all eternity. His hand is not so short that it can not
reach you; there is no place in which you can hide from Him. For His eyes look to and fro seeking a heart
in which He can abide, He seeks a resting place. Will you give the Father a place to rest in
you, will you say Yes Lord, come, let me be in your presence; Yes, let me rest
in you. For as I rest in you, you rest
in me and both are content just to be in each other's presence. Has it ever occurred to you that the Father
created us to fellowship with Him? Have
you ever sought His presence just to be with Him, just to Be still and Know
that I am God? Oh, my when you find that
place, that secret place within yourself in which it is just you and Him, and
you let go and just be, you need for nothing more than to just soak up His
presence. And you run, run as a child runs to greet their earthly father, you
run to be with Him, to sit at His feet, to hear his heart beat and you know all
is well, for I am safe in His keeping.
Lovingly, longingly He waits for you patiently. If you but knew, if the curtain could be
rolled back so that you would have eyes to see and ears to hear, you would not
be able to contain the fullness of it all, the wonder of who He is, for He is a
God of Mercy and He extends Grace to you and He longs to abide with you and in
you. Yes, Jesus your Lord, God the
Father long to be with you, little ol’ you, raggedly ol’ you, silly ol’ you,
you with all your imperfection, with all your shortcomings, with all your
quirky ways, He longs for you.
He longs to be with you as lover longs to be with the one
they love, as a Mother longs to be with her child, as you have pined for
someone who has rejected you, and all you want is for them to love you and want
to be with you, so the Father longs for you.
So many times we see God as Creator, Almighty, All Powerful,
and we fail to see Him as one who desires fellowship with us. Who is man that you are mindful of him? And yet He is. He is ever mindful of you; He knows the hairs
on your head and has numbered them! He knows the secrets of your heart, your
secret thoughts and desires. He longs
for you to share with Him. He sees the
mess of your life, the things that are wrong, the financial mess, the
relationship mess the job mess He has a solution planned out for you, He knows
exactly how to fix everything, He knows and He can because He is God, but also
because He loves you. Come to Him, you
who are heavy laden, lay your burdens down at His feet, turn them over to Him
and then sit there at His feet, beside Him in His presence and just be. Surrender all and peace will be yours. Trust and worries will go away, sit with Him
and the loneliness of your heart will vanish.
