Acts 13:16 Paul stood up, and beckoning with
his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, LISTEN!
Being woken up with a song on your lips, He
beckons you. When out of the blue chills run up your spine, He
beckons you. When the doctor say one thing but God's promise
says another, He beckons you.
When visions flash through your mind, He beckons
you.
When a scripture leaps out of the Bible, He beckons
you.
When you see the shape of My hand in the clouds I
have beckoned you.
There are so many gestures that God uses to grab
your attention. To tell you how very much He loves you. I picture Him pointing
His finger directed right at you saying: My child I am calling you. I have
followed you your whole life. I have loved and cared for you. When on your
darkest day I ordered the sun to shine. I was the one that healed your disease.
I am the one who wiped your tears. The breeze you felt on your left cheek was the kiss of
your Father. The unconditional love you receive when your babies wrap their
arms around your neck is me beckoning you. I stop at nothing to call you my
own. You were created in the image of My Son and I love you. There is no
sacrifice that a human can make that will ever supersede the sacrifice I have
already made for you.
There is no amount of love that a human can show
you that will outweigh the love I have for you. I have beckoned you and I have
called you my own. I have set you on my shoulders and I have carried you, I
have taken you out of the fire and have placed you in the garden. I have turned
your tears of Sorrow into tears of joy, your sadness into happiness and your
fear into security. It was I who made you Brave, who gave you strength to make
it through. I have turned many of your trials into Victories. I ask you to
soften your heart and to open your ears and hear the sound of Me calling your
name.
Open your eyes and see the hand of God waving for
you to come closer. Take My hand and trust me to take care of you. I knew you
before you were ever born and I will spend the rest of your life beckoning you.
I will use many gestures to get your attention because I love you and I have
called you as My own. So watch and listen as I Beckon you.
