Spurgeon. Hoses 11:4. Out Heavenly Father Often Draws Us To Himself With Love.

Our heavenly Father often draws us with the cords of love, but how often do we run from Him. How slowly do we respond to His gentle impulses. He draws us to use faith in Him, but we have not yet attained to the trust that Abraham had. We do not leave our wordly worries with God, but like Martha we succumb ourselves to much serving. Our small faith makes us skinny, we do not open wide our mouths to eat from the hand of the Lord, even though He promises to fill us with this truth. He is the bread of life. This evening He draws us to trust in Him. Can you hear Him say, "comes my child and trust in Me. The veil has been torn. Enter my presence. Boldly approach My throne of grace. I am worthy of your full confidence. Cast your cares on Me. shake yourself from the dust of worries and put on the beautiful clothes of joy."

But sadly, even though we are called by His love music, we do not go to Him. At another time He draws us to closer commuion with Himself. We are sitting on the doorstep of God's house, and He calls us to walk in and eat with Him, but we decline the offer. We are invited to go deeper in relationship with Him, but we refuse. We are unfaithful lovers of our Lord, not worthy to be His bride, but He remains the same. He has exalted us to be bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. Married to Him in a glorious marriage covenant. Here is His love. May we respond to His gentle cords of love that she used to pull us closer.
