Excuses

(Excuses)   

Come My Precious One.  Do not hesitate to come and sit with Me.  What holds you back?  What excuse do you think will suffice?   Do you mind making excuses?  Do you feel your excuse is sufficient to keep you away from Me?  But I am still near you and with you and watching over you.

So what have you succeeded in doing?  You are endeavoring to avoid Me, otherwise you would come aside and greet Me and join Me in prayer.

Is that how you see yourself, as avoiding Me?  Perhaps you would never say that out loud but when you refuse to come aside when I call you what should I assume you mean?  “Oh, I really love you Lord.”

That is not the message you would want to hear from Me.  “Oh, I really Love you but don’t have time for prayer right now.”  Do you see how it sounds?

Remember those who said they had to go here or there --- elsewhere than to be with Jesus.

How frail is your heart?  How self-centered is your heart? 

If I, Jesus, were standing right in front of you, big as life, would you still pass on spending some time with Me in prayer? 

What circumstance can I throw out there in front of you to get your attention?  Will you be able to truthfully tell Me when you die that you did not hear My Voice?

So is it because you do not hear My Voice and, if you don’t, why are you not telling Me to call you so you will hear.

Perhaps I do not call because you really don’t want to hear?  Is that your reason?  That is probably the truth of it eh?

I want to get in your face and ask you “Do you want to hear from Me, for Me to call you to prayer?  Well here I am, and I am calling you right now.”

Now you can never say I did not call you.  So, now will you come aside and pray with Me or find some other excuse for not coming to prayer?

I am not cross, but I do not want you to drag yourself down with excuses for not coming. 

Tell Me you want to come aside even if you don’t hear My Call!

So now you will have no excuse for not coming aside!!

You can’t say you didn’t hear My Call because I just called you, I told you I am always calling you, AND now you have said that you will come aside even if you do not hear My Call.

So where are you?
