o
you yearn for an intimate relationship with Jesus? Does it burn in you? Do you
want to see His face and sense His touch? There are so many children of God
who have sought the touch of the Lord, yet always seem to fall short of the
tenderness they so desperately seek.
Perhaps today you have given up on trying to reach out for
a touch. You look at yourself and see the mess and the confusion in your life
and are coming to the place where you think that the love and compassion of
the Lord is only given to those who are ‘selected’ by divine choice.
It is not the Lord who is withholding His touch from you
– it is the walls that you have built around yourself that prevent Him from
reaching in. As you have gone through life you have faced the pain of
rejection and the hurts of being let down, time and time again. You have
formed a safety mechanism around your heart that prevents any one from hurting
you again. You will no longer be the ‘sucker’ and allow yourself to fall
into that trap again!
You have become your own strength – yet in the silent of
night, when you are alone you feel the emptiness and cry to reach out and have
it filled. There is one who wants to protect you. He was there each time you
were torn down and insulted. He was there with every tear that was shed. He
was there wanting to hold your hand, but you were too afraid to take it.
Jesus wants you to know that He loves you. He wants you to
know that when you wept - He wept and that when others hurt you - He hurt with
you, feeling the nails of the cross afresh. He is there with you right now, He
is there wanting to take you into His arms. Rest in Him. He is wooing you as a
groom would His bride. He is saying: " Come into My chambers where no
harm can touch you, where My touch is tender, where My words bring
healing"
Will you surrender your walls of security and protection to
the Lord right now? Would you drop your arms that are held ready to defend
yourself and just allow Him to cover you?
Lord Jesus heal your people. Heal their hearts. Refresh
their spirits Lord with your tenderness and compassion. Lord, gather each one
of your sheep that have gone astray and that have been hurt. How your heart
aches for them Lord! How you weep over their broken bones. Bring healing Holy
Spirit; bring your gentle wind that would breath life and restoration.
Come sweet wind of God, come. Reach out right now and let
the Holy Spirit bring healing into your heart. Now look up with a new
confidence and assurance that you are very favored of the Lord.
