Jeremiah 31:3 (NKJV) 3 The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
He has drawn us. Not with harshness, not with rudeness, not with anger, not with guilt, not with pride or arrogance.
But what does this verse say He has drawn us with?
With lovingkindness. Because He loves us with an everlasting love.
This is a love that will change us. A love that will touch us. A love that is everlasting. A love that is fulfilling and causes us to want to obey Him more than anything else.
This Hebrew word, kindness, according to my notes, conveys the concept of covenant loyalty, love and faithfulness. Betrothal.
Many may feel this drawing. And some may have ignored it at times, thinking they had to get themselves right before they say yes.
But, that is the exact opposite of what God wants for us.
When He draws us to Himself, we must not think we need to clean up before we go to Him. However, we must submit everything at His feet, repenting and letting Him chip away those things that need to go.
He is going to draw us.
Don’t say, “wait”. Say, “yes, take all of me and let me have all of You! Let us be as one, married and loyal to each other”.
Remember His words; “With My lovingkindness I am drawing you”! Amen.
