Day THREE - You're Calling Out...

Father, I know You're calling out to me through the rain... I know You're reaching out but there's something in the way and I can't quite get to You. I know what's in the way Lord, it's me... it's me, Lord. I'm standing in the way of getting to You. I'm standing in the way of healing and restoration. Lord, I'm standing in the way. And for whatever reason I can't make myself move... my body's become numb and I can't move forward. I'm at a standstill without knowing which way to turn next. The world's right there, so tempting, so lovely... but then Lord, there You are - more than enough for me, a love so amazing that I'll never be able to express. Forgive me for even having to think twice. I should be running after You, God, but I'm hesitating... I'm letting my friends influence me, I'm letting the world influence me, and I'm giving the devil a stronghold. Forgive me for being so foolish. Thank You though, for being patient with me... never leaving my side, and walking me through these valleys. Forgive me for not always recognizing You, and often looking the other way when I know You're there calling. Thank You Lord for today, despite it's pain and bitter loneliness... for days like these make me realize just how much more of You I need and long for. I love You Jesus... sorry for having such a hard time expressing that sometimes. I love You so much... thank You for compassion. Thank You for Your mercy and for the amazing chance to know You and love You. I love You Lord. Thank You for dying on the cross, thank You for loving me... for wanting me... I love You Love Your Child, -Rachel I'm hungry, I'm thirsty To show you my mercy I'm begging, I'm pleading For you to start seeing my face I want to hold you I want to mold you I want to hug you I want to love you I want you I'm stretching, I'm reaching For your heart to be needing my love I'm hoping, I'm praying That you will start laying Your burdens before me I want to embrace you I want to bless you All I want is you I want you

hi hunnie! That was a great message! I have been having struggles as well, and I felt that He had left me, but I knew that He was just trying to make me stronger! Don't listen to that ignorant person who wrote, he knows nothing and all we can do is pray for him! I love you and hope that you are having an awesome day! God bless...

Hey,
Jesus is awesome! I really hope that you can become closer to Jesus, as I am also trying to do. I love seeing people my age (or close) getting closer to God...because if more of us do, then maybe this world will be more driven by God...ya know what I mean? anyways...what's your favorite verse? mine is Ephesians 5:6...it's got a lot of meaning for me! lol. Well, god bless!
Smile:)
Jesus loves you!
