The Purchase

"...I know that you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other!" Rev. 3:15 GNB

"I advise you, then, to buy gold from Me, pure gold, in order to be rich." Rev. 3:18 GNB

I know my lukewarmness, I know that my fervor and zeal for the LORD of creation is pitiful. I want passion for Him and yet I have not known how to obtain it. As I have thought on this passage, "...buy from Me" I've thought "how can I buy this from God?" Indeed, how can you "buy" anything from Him, the ONE that has everything? This is how. What do we have that has any value? What is it that He wants? Only this - our hearts. How do we give Him our hearts - our time. There is such a loud, clear call for us to respond to His drawing us into intimacy with Him. He has waited patiently for us to respond; now is the time for us to say "Yes" to His invitation. Do you know why? Because He loves us, He desires us to be ready for what is coming on the earth, and make no mistake, it is coming! But there is still time for me, for you, for us; if now we will say "Yes." Let us no longer continue in our lukewarm, indifferent, weak, and pathetic Christianity. Let us not be like Israel that would not respond to His invitation. "Seek the LORD while He may be found..."

Because of Him...
