Come To ME, the Person? Here I Am!

Come to Me

You search the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life. John 5:39-40

You diligently write or read text messages or books, sing or write songs, eat lunch or dinner or hike with some pals... thinking that by these you have Eternal Life. And yet, you still forget to come to ME, Real-time? I AM! I AM! Focus! Call out! Look! Me! I AM the WAY, the Truth, the Life! Me! Come to ME, the Person? Here I Am.

You also diligently work and say or do clever things, thinking that by them you will promote yourself at your job or in relationships, and still forget I AM the Alpha and Omega, THE Beginning and End of all things.

You diligently exercise and eat special food or little food, and think as you weigh yourself or look in the mirror that by these you shall be healthy or attractive. And yet you refuse to kneel before ME? Dumb.

You diligently scrimp and save and find coupons and obsess; you count your play money and set goals and admire yourself and your wisdom and desires with play money. But still you refuse to come to ME to make your ends meet.

I AM Alpha and Omega. Everything else is vanity and falls between the cracks, unretrievable. I AM HERE! Look! Bow!

“When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray.” Matt. 6:6

The greatest miracles of Elijah and Elisha took place when they were alone with God (1 & 2 Kings). It was alone with God that Jacob became a prince; and just there that we, too, may become princes—“men (aye, and women too!) wondered at” (Zech. 3:8). Joshua was alone when the Lord came to him (Josh. 1:1). Gideon and Jephthah were by themselves when commissioned to save Israel (Judges 6:11 and 11:29). Moses was by himself at the wilderness bush (Exodus 3:1-5). Cornelius was praying by himself when the angel came to him (Acts 10:2). No one was with Peter on the housetop when he was instructed to go to the Gentiles (Acts 10:9). John the Baptist was alone in the wilderness (Luke 1:80), and John the Beloved alone on Patmos, when nearest God (Rev. 1:9).
