Feel that beating, feel that thing that from within you beats
Feel it push life throughout your body and
Feel it keep you walking forward
That beating, that throbbing from within your chest
Is not, just accident or
Miracle of nature
It is, purpose
Beating from within you and
Pushing you forwards to
Find the One who set it beating
For it is not, as some may say
A product of accident or
Any brilliance of nature or men
It is, the product of
Careful planning and instruction and
Intricate design
Fashioned by One, who us above
Who placed that heart within you that
Is beating continually
But why, you ask
Is such a thing inside of me
How could there by life, above men
How could there be a Creator in Heaven?
That, my dear friend
Is a beautifully complicated question that
Is yet so simple to answer
There is a God, who
In Heaven dwells
Who made Heaven and earth and
Crafted you, dear child, so intricately
And gave in you, a purpose, a desire to
Find the thing that made your heart beat
To find Him who gave you life
For there is, in every soul
A longing for one, or something greater
For something more than daily toils
There is, in every heart
An insatiable desire to
Find something, anything
To bring you peace and purpose in this life
Yet this thing, is often sought but
Often overlooked in pursuit
Of things easier or more comfortable
For men would rather look to world, and all the sin within
Than look up to Him above
Who crafted us in our mothers’ womb
For it is easier, at times
When faced with pain and suffering of this life
To run to drink, or lust, or friend,
Or anything at all to make us numb
To that which we cannot hide from
From that emptiness inside
For see, every man
Every soul born on earth
Is born into sin, as children of the world
Lost, without a way
Desperate for a Savior, they do not know
Needing something, anything to fill the void
Only One can fill
For we were made to worship Him
And find this God in Heaven
Yet when sin entered earth, we favored self and
Wanted to be like God
So we became flesh, mortal
And bound to death and sin
In our rebellion, we chose to deny Him and live for ourselves
And live mortal lives, bound in sin
That can only end in death
And in eternal torment
But even though, we did all this
Even though we ran away
Our God, whom we deserted
Still came for us
He did what we, could not and took
All our sins away
Upon His back, on the cross
That we may live as His, once more
For all eternity.
He bore our sin and shame
He took our every hurt
And gave Himself, in place of us
That we wouldn’t have to bear the weight
Of justice we deserved
For crimes against His Name
He took upon Himself
Our every rebellious doing and
Washed us, and cleansed us
With His Holy blood
That we could walk, with Him once more and
Be in fellowship with Him, our God
Our Glorious Creator!
So what, you may ask
Does all this have to do with me?
Why should I bother, believing such things
What can this God do for me?
That, is a question, I cannot answer
Only He, above who died and rose again
Can answer such a pondering
For it is He, who calls to men
And invites them to Himself
It is He, who gives them purpose and
Changes hearts of men
To beat for something greater than themselves and
To be no longer bound in sin
So instead of answer this question, only One can answer
I will tell you how to find Him
This God I speak so highly of
And honestly, it is not I
But One Above speaking through me who
Alone can save, and show His light
Only He can change men’s hearts!
I am just the messenger, but
I do know where to find Him
Or rather, how to be found by Him
Take a moment, in quiet place
Or in quietness of mind
And simply ask, this God above
To make Himself real to you
To speak to you in this moment
Even if you are doubting of His existence or great love
For this God, He is, One who delights in showing Himself
To those who want Him to
I know He pleasures when, men do come and
Ask to hear His voice
So I cannot tell you what will happen but
I promise, if you come and ask
For Him in quiet place
And lay down all agendas and, really look at self, and see the need
For something more than world can offer
For more than brokenness and pain
I know, and I promise, without doubt
Or any hesitation that
He is good. And He is faithful
To keep His promises and
Stay true to the goodness of His nature
And He will not ignore, a quiet voice or
Desperate scream in darkest night
For Him to come and meet them and
To make Himself known
For He is not passive, Him who gave us heartbeats
He is not lofty, though He is holier and more glorious
Than we could ever know
And He is, so much higher, so greater than
Any thought or man of earth or heaven
And is beautiful and terrible
And to be revered and feared
But He is, not uncaring
Not unseeing of your pain and
Not unknown to your days
For He made you and,
Is always present
And He knows all you’ve ever gone through and
All you’ve ever lost
And He, can be
He is, so much more
Than we could ever ask or know
And He will fill up, He will heal
Every hole, and broken place within us that
Can in no other way be fixed
For He crafted you, in mothers womb.
You are not alive by accident or
Born without purpose
For that same God, who painted stars and
Ordered galaxies
Has made you, simply because
He delights in you and
He knows your every thought and
Every beating of your heart
And He knows you, better than you know yourself
So please, consider Him and
Listen to His call
For He has died, to make a way
For you to be His own
He has made you, so intricately and
Has not formed you by accident
So no matter what life has taught you or
No matter what men have told you
No matter what lies you believe, or whisper to yourself
Know that there, is a God in Heaven who
Loves you more than words can say
More than you could ever know
And He is calling to you,
From beyond your hurt and pain
And He is offering, all He is and more
He has made Himself available
So if come, and call on Him
And simply say His name and ask Him to
Make Himself real to you
I promise that, He will answer
Though often not as we expect
And if you come, and lay your all
And surrender at His feet
And confess, your every sin and
Declare you are in need of Him
I promise He will meet you and
Make Himself real
And He will take you, into His arms and
Make you whole, by His hand and
Overcome you with His love
And He will do, as none but He can do
And bring you home, where you belong
And fill the emptiness within
And make you, His own
Belonging to this Savior, this Creator
That you may know, Him who gave you beating heart
Him who gave you purpose and longing for
Him and Him alone
Who died, to make you whole And
Who formed you in your mothers’ womb
That you may know, just why you were created
That you may know how much you are valued and
Prized in His sight
That He may make you clean and
Pure within His arms and
Make you new, beneath His blood
And give you heart of flesh, that you may know
The goodness of the Creator and
The love of this Savior who
Is calling out to you
And you can find Him and
Let Him catch you with His love
If you simply come to Him, and ask for Him
To make Himself known
Simply call, in repentance and
In absolute surrender and
Ask for Him, who alone can save
For Him, this Jesus
Who alone can satisfy~
