Drawn

Not pulled. Not pushed. Not draged. Drawn. What is it to be like drawn by God? Do we go kicking an screaming? I don't think so. Are we diving head first into something without checking the depth of the water? I don't think that's it either. When I think of what it means to be "Drawn" by God there is a very different imagery in my mind. I imagine someone walking through woods or even in a city and they have that look as though they can hear or see something that they just can't help but want to investigate. But that noise that sound or sight that has caught their attention is too soft and too far away for them to make it out. Its intriguing and fasinating but just too far off to fully appreciate. So that person begins looking for the way to get closer, to get a better view or better understanding of what has caught their attention.

I believe that's what God does for us sometimes. He's speaking in that still small voice or He is showing us something He has for us and we just but we can't make it out just quite right from where we are. We must move closer if we are to hear what He is saying clearly or if we are to see all the details of what has caught our attention. We realize that if we stay just where we are we might miss something. Who knows how long before its just not there anymore. We are drawn closer. Moving cautiously so as not to miss our target destination. No one is forcing us to go but we just can't help ourselves. We have to check it out. We are just drawn to what He is showing knowing that it could be something great and knowing my God it just might be.

In what ways have you felt drawn by God?
