The One You'll Find

2 Chronicles 16:9

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.”

I have witnessed the greatest miracle known in this life. I have seen a dead heart raised to life in front of my very eyes! My dad was a rough man. He was a West Coast, gold-digging, road- building, smoking, brawling, cowboy. And when I say "gold-digging," I really mean that he spent a lot of his life in Mexico literally digging for gold. He was a large man full of the scars of his youth, both in and out.

When my dad was sixty-five years old, the Lord allowed Him to SEE! God took the scales off of my dad’s eyes after YEARS of praying for him. His life was changed forever.

I tell this story to remind us that God initiates EVERYTHING. He creates from nothing. He pursues man. He calls. He chooses. He saves. He enlarges hearts. He opens eyes. He brings dead things to life. He speaks things that aren’t as if they were.

The only hope for this heart to be “fully committed to Him,” is if He frees it to be so! Do it Lord!!
