Pull Me a Little Closer

 
Just moments before the dawn of a new day; Papa pierces the dark night of our soul with the blinding brilliance of His heart. It blazes against the contrast of  the darkness as a constant reminder of His great love!  

The question is not whether He will pierce our darkness; but, can we receive His heart-sight? (This is a real photograph taken just before dawn by a friend capturing this powerful, prophetic image!) 
" Look, God, your God, has placed this land as a gift before you. Go ahead and take it now. God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, promised it to you. Don't be afraid. Don't lose heart."Deuteronomy 1:21 (MSG) 
The land placed before us as a gift is the security of the same closeness Jesus has enjoyed with His Father for all eternity. When life seems the darkest he is just around the corner with fresh blazing revelation and wisdom. 
"Jesus reveals that we pre-existed in His Father; He defines us. He justified us and also glorified us. He redeemed our innocence and restored the glory we lost in Adam's fall...What further ground can there possibly be to condemn us?
In His death he faced our judgment; in His resurrection he declares our innocence; the implications cannot be undone! He now occupies the highest seat of authority as the executive of our redemption in the throne room of God.
What would (could) it take to distance us from the love of Christ? You name any potential calamity; intense pressure of the worst possible kind, cluster-phobia, persecution, destitution, loneliness, extreme exposure, life-threatening danger or war? His love has placed us above the reach of any onslaught. (Adapted from verses in Romans 8)  
  
Therefore; throw caution, fear and religious inhibitions to the wind of Holy Spirit and embrace His passionate draw, pulling you closer to His heart than you ever imagined was possible! 
As the previous waves come crashing on the shore of your faith journey, be pulled by the overwhelming undertow of His great love and be ready to ride the next waves of Glory!
