Feeling For The Lord


There is so much anxiety that can linger around in a person's heart. There is so much time to examine the presence of worry. Not many souls have peace of mind whenever it comes to stress and sadness. The present-day global tyranny of self, through life and living, imparts our lives at one time or another.  To become free, even still, causes more fright than might for some, in relieving the burdening disillusions of joy and happiness possibly available for ourselves.
 
"There must be some sort of way I can get out of this mess," some say.  Others chant, "I'll just work harder and do what I have to do."  "But this cannot be happening to me!  Why me!" more might say.

It is just a simply, small voice inside of us that gently and sweetly calls out to us.  In all the mist of turmoil in our lives, God still manages to get through to us.  He tells us to be still, and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10 KJV).  When it seems as if others have left from our sides, God promises to always be with us, never forsaking us (Psalm 27:10 KJV). 

Feeling for the Lord is not a difficult thing to do.  The difficulty lies in allowing ourselves to open up to His good grace and mercy.  Having a hard heart from anger, malice, or discontentment only worsens matters.  We must learn to realize that the forgiveness of another person is not for the sake of them but rather, for ourselves.  In order to know and feel the goodness of the Lord we must have a clear and open heart to receive the blessings He wants to bestow upon us (Colossians 1:14 KJV; Acts 26:18 KJV; Luke 11:4 KJV: Matthew 6:14 KJV).

The soft whisper on the inside of ourselves we often hear and feel is none other than God calling out to us, to offer us hope and freedom, and peace of mind through His salvation (Lamentations 3:26 KJV; Psalm 85:9 KJV).  So let's do ourselves a favor today, and open our hearts to Him!
