Help Me

Psalm 119:10 English Standard Version (ESV) With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!

Psalm 119:18 English Standard Version (ESV) Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.

Psalm 119:41 English Standard Version (ESV) Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord, your salvation according to your promise;

Thousands of years ago this writer cries out for help. Seeking God with the whole heart did not allow him to obey, so he cries out make me. The law was written as plainly as any man could ask and he cries out, “I don’t get it.” God said He loved them yet they did not feel it.

That was the other side of the cross and here we are two thousand years later after God kept His promise and sent all the help we will ever need. Yet mankind cries out just as loudly today as they did in Psalm 119. “Help me, I just don’t get it.”

That is not true for all of us and some of us have had all our fears and doubts answered. The truth here is that the help they seek abides in us and wants to touch their lives in meaningful ways. We feel it and we want to help and still with all we know and are in Christ, it doesn’t seem to be enough.

Satisfaction will only come when they accept that free will offering of Christ. There is nothing we can do to make people accept it. Over the years I have heard people say thank you only to discover they accepted intellectually and not with their heart.

God wants to abide in the heart, not the head.

Try as I might I cannot tell anyone how to accept Christ into the heart. Only that broken heart can say what it will take.
