Acts 3:19
Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.
This and...
John 6:44
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him
are both happening in my life, all because of this-
Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
and these-
Lamentations 3:22-23
The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
2 Timothy 2:13
If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
Philippians 1:6
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
So what does all this scripture mean? It simply means that I'm being drawn to Christ, and I can't help it. I have no where else to go or look. (John 6:66-69). I don't want to look anywhere else. My eyes have been opened, and I still see regardless of how dim or fogged my vision becomes. My flesh wants me to say no to Jesus. The powers of this earth want me to say no to His being a man. No to His being fully God. No to the accomplishment of His cross. No to His ressurection. I can't say no. Praise be to God, I cannot say no, and Lord let it be so from now until the end of time.

2 tim 2:13 is soo encouraging. It's so cool how God stays with us even when we are making a mess of things. I have had a lot of evidence of that lately.
Thanks God for irresitable grace!
