Invitation

“Come,” said Jesus’ sacred voice,
“Come, and make My paths your choice;
I will guide you to your home,
Weary pilgrim, hither come.

“Thou who, houseless, sole, forlorn,
Long hast borne the proud world’s scorn,
Long hast roamed the barren waste,
Weary pilgrim, hither haste.

“Ye who, tossed on beds of pain,
Seek for ease, but seek in vain;
Ye whose swollen, sleepless eyes
Watch to see the morning rise.

Ye, by fiercer anguish torn,
In remorse for guilt who mourn.
Here repose your heavy care:
Who the stings of guilt can bear?

“Hither come, for here is found
Balm that flows for every wound,
Peace that ever shall endure,
Rest eternal, sacred, sure.”

- Anna Letitia Barbauld

The “Get a Mac” commercial series was one of the greatest advertising campaigns in the modern technological era. It’s being retired, and this is a fabulous tribute!

The Voice

This is one of the most amazing songs I’ve ever heard…

Also, I read these potent verses during devotions this morning:

“So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance. He did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death….” 1 Chronicles 10:13-14

We live in an enlightened era, where every person is overwhelmed with information, religion, ethics, and humanistic reasoning. People have been trained to become self-reliant, conditioning themselves to be devoid of the need for any other divine strength. These are both “Christian” and “nonreligious” alike. Most have filled that empty hole inside them with other things, failing to quench the insatiable thirst for “something more” that eats at their heart.

Saul in the Bible was a Godly man, chosen by the Lord Himself. Yet soon Saul was tormented by lying voices that completely skewed his way of thinking. In fits of fearful fury he would try to kill David, scared of some unknown tormentor. Peace never lasted long, and his relationships around him were destroyed because he kept listening to the WRONG voice. In the end the Lord had to take him away from this earth.

I ask myself today….what voice am I listening to? If I feel like my girlfriend doesn’t want me, or my parents don’t love me, is that the voice of Christ? You’re still on this earth. Listen to the soft loving voice of Jesus.

Life is waiting for you
And life I have given to you
Tell me what else can I do
What more have I left to prove?
That I am what you need
Still I will hold on to your heart
Through the chaos and the dark
When your eyes fail to see
So what are you waiting for?

On and on we go
Come love take my hand
On and on we go
As you run away again
On and on we go
Back to where this all began

Broken I was for you
Broken I’m still for you
My broken heart breaks for you
Broken I’m over you

On and on we go…
