A Total Eclipse of the Heart

Do you find yourself walking in the dark, and something is telling you that forever starts today?  You need something to fill that void in your heart.  You dwell in the fog of the lowlands with no vision of your Creator.  You know you have a need to turn about and change; you don't want your epitaph to read, "This world is the limit of your horizon".

Do not put your trust in mortal men, when their spirit departs they return to the ground all they have said turns to nothing.  Put your trust in the Maker of heaven and earth.  The One who can open the eyes of your heart.  He has not spoken in secret from somewhere in a land of darkness.  Before Him every knee shall bow; every tongue confess that He is the One.

Jesus says, "You are the ones who justifies yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts.  What does He see when He looks into your heart today:  the spirit of man or the Spirit of God; they speak from the view points of the world".

Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.  This is how God showed His love among us:  He sent His Son into the world that we might live through Him.  If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he is in God.

Seeing Jesus is what Christianity is all about.  Christian service in its purest form is nothing more than imitating Jesus.  Who are you listening to:  yourself, other people, or the Spirit of the most Holy One?

There you are standing in the dark, and you turn around knowing this day will last forever and you need Him more than ever.  He will be there to make your life beautiful: always holding you.  If you reach out to Jesus, He will pour out God's powerful grace on you and you will have:

"A total eclipse of your heart"

God, because of His outrageous love, and by faith and trust in His Son, just gave you a new heart.  He accepted you as His child just as you were, and lifted you into the heavenlies!  Now you are His and He is yours.  He did for you, what you couldn't do for yourself.  God became man to rescue all souls.  He became flesh and dwelt among us.  Now, He is waiting on you to become His child.  Turn around and take His hand, He is waiting on you.
