The Invitation

God has invited me to go on a journey...with Him. How cool is that! The God of this universe inviting me to journey to the depths of His heart! Amazing! Okay, the reality is He invited me a long time ago when I first accepted His gift of salvation, I just didn't know it then. So, while this is not earth-shattering revelation to everyone, it has been to me over these last few months. Sure, I've seen glimpses of His heart many times, but I'm sad to say that I've never really understood what it means to follow Him in complete surrender. And truth is, I'm tired of playing games and going through the motions of trying to be who I think I should be, rather than just simply being who He has created me to be. God's heart is not a great mystery. He tells us plainly in His word how much He loves us and wants us to love Him, first, and then love others. So many verses speak of His heart for the least of these: the poor, the hungry, the orphans and the widows. How can we possibly say we love Him, and then do nothing to help them. And when we do something, it's then that we come face to face with Him. I don't know where this journey will take me, but I know that there is no better place to be than in the center of His will. So lead me Lord, and help me to follow You with all my heart.
