Pursue me


No matter what the day may bring, I have the same cry--LORD pursue me! There are many things that I talk to HIM about and when I have a difficult time with a burden, I argue with the LORD, "no, I will not do it. No, please do not ask me to do that. I simply cannot do that!" And, of course, the LORD comes to me and reassures me that it will be in the perfect time that things will be completed. It is ok to share with the LORD the things that you are stubborn about and that it is an area that will stumble you. James 4 tells us how we can approach the LORD. Hebrew 4 tells us that we can approach the LORD. The entire book of Romans reassures us that we are not lost and we can rely upon the LORD for all of our needs. This is how much we are loved--we are reassured throughout the Bible that we can come to HIM for all of our needs. Romans 8:38-39 tells us specifically that nothing can separate us from the love of GOD. So, when we are experiencing a trial and the burden is heavy, we can have an honest conversation with our FATHER. HE does love us and HE does pursue us. If anyone could hear my conversation with the LORD, that person would know that a child does have that conversation with their natural parent; even more so, the LORD is all that much more patient, kind, loving and gentle to pursue us and to give us that touch that only HE knows how and when to do. This should not be mistaken from angering the LORD. HE knows that we get scared, frightful, and worried. All the more reason that we should not worry when we cry out "Pursue me!"

Crying on. Encouraging on!
