Encouragement
You may have heard that the Lord God is called the Hound of Heaven. (No? Well, now you have.)
You know that you can run from Him, but you can’t hide! This should be obvious!
You know He loves you!
And maybe you know that Jesus is a Savior, and He can be, and wants to be, your Savior!
You know that your mom and dad, and maybe your grandma and grandpa, or maybe some friends (me included), are praying for you. Or, if they are gone, they did pray for you.
You know that your mom and dad prayed or are praying in agreement with what the Lord God wants! This is very significant! You know He wants you! This is very good, for He is Good!!
So, rejoice!!!
Advice
Don't fight it! For some reason little kids have very little trouble responding positively, but older folks seem just naturally to want to go their own way, usually. This is not good, for the process needed to soften our hearts and change our minds can be rough.
And no matter how old you are, or what you have done, or whether you have walked away from Him already, He hasn't stopped loving you and pursuing you. He will never stop pursuing you, because He will never stop loving you. So, I strongly recommend that you just respond by saying, "Yes, Lord." And see what happens!
Let me say this again, He loves you!!!
Hallelujah!
I rejoice that He is continuing to pursue me, even right now!
