magnet love

It's a beautiful Thanksgiving morning.  After going for a jog, I was focusing thoughts on the Lord and wanting to really feel His presence.  It occurred to me that loving God is something like the way a magnet attracts iron filings.  When a magnet is placed on a table with iron filings a few feet away there is no effect.  As the magnet approaches the filings they leap on the magnet well before the magnet reaches the filings.  There is a force field that is invisible but very real that lies around the magnet.  The iron filings have a built-in affinity for the magnet but there is no movement until the magnet and the filings are within the same force field.  We also have an affinity for our Lord...just like the filings.  If we allow the Lord close enough to our thoughts, to our hearts, to our dreams...we will fly to him and we will experience Him in those thoughts, hearts and dreams. James 4: 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. blessings and thanks, Rob Smith
