From Isaiah 55:3: “Incline your ear, and come to Me; listen, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, My steadfast, sure love for David.”
Searching, still searching
Wanting something more
Living unfulfilled
Looking past life’s door
Listening to heart
Searching deep within
Thirsting for mercy
Crashing, life’s tailspin
Surrounding darkness
Running from its lies
Escaping away
Searching in His eyes
Inclining each ear
Hearing hope-filled voice
Kneeling at one cross
Searching, now rejoice
Satisfying peace
Feeling much stronger
Finding Jesus Christ
Searching no longer
From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: “If your soul feels depleted, make unhurried time with Jesus a priority.”
