This past week I was aching to feel God's love and found Him seemingly distant. I kept crying out needing to hear a word, to feel His Presence in a tangible way, and yet I was always disappointed. I would pick up the guitar and sing, yet feel nothing. I would try to pray, but felt nothing, either. Have you ever felt that way, when you need so much to feel His touch upon your heart, and yet wind up frustrated?
Interestingly, during the singing time in church today, the song being sung suddenly swept me back to that morning when I was trying to “connect” to Him—because it was the exact song I’d sung to Him with no one else hearing me!
It turned out someone did hear me. Jesus heard me! Tears streamed down my face as I could almost hear Him telling me, “See, did you think I didn’t notice? I know every song you sing to Me, and I enjoy all of them.”
Isn’t that amazing? The God of the universe can be so moved by the slightest turning of my heart towards Him!
How can He be so captivated by me? My heart is so weak, yet every little glance I turn His way overwhelms His heart. My words are so frail, yet every word I speak to Him thrills His heart.

Thank you, Jesus... :)
