First Church of God

So don't be like a horse or donkey...
They must be led with bits and reins,
or they will not come near."      Psalm 32:9

Sometimes I am as stubborn as a mule, unwilling to go where You direct me;  unwilling to even pause, to listen for Your direction.  And You refuse to jerk me around or force me to follow You.  Instead You draw me into Your presence with an open invitation.

So right now, in this moment, I accept Your invitation, and my heart is soft for You.  I choose to come near. Forgive me for ever ignoring or avoiding You.  To be with You is more important to me than anything.
