The angel of God appeared to him in flames of fire blazing out of the middle of a bush. He looked. The bush was blazing away but it didn't burn up.Moses said, "What's going on here? I can't believe this! Amazing! Why doesn't the bush burn up?" God saw that he had stopped to look. God called to him from out of the bush, "Moses! Moses!" He said, "Yes? I'm right here!" God said, "Don't come any closer. Remove your sandals from your feet. You're standing on holy ground." Then he said, "I am the God of your father: The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob." Moses hid his face, afraid to look at God.Exodus 3:2-6 (MSG)
I was having another nostalgic moment today. I was going through videos of bands from the seventies and eighties (sorry folks pop music got worse after the eighties), and I stumbled upon Cheap Trick. I didn't put two and two together but they did the opening song for That 70s Show. Anyway, I came across this great song from them.
I want you to imagine someone crying out desperately for God to listen and the heart of God calling back:
Here's the way I heard it:
Someone Crying Out to God:
Another night slowly closes in,
And I feel so lonely.
Touching heat freezing on my skin,
I pretend you still hold me.
Im going crazy, Im losing sleep.
Im in too far, Im in way too deep over you.
I cant believe youre gone.
You were the first, youll be the last.
God's Cry:
Wherever you go, Ill be with you.
Whatever you want, Ill give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.
Someone Crying Out to God:
Watching shadows move across the wall,
I feel so frightened.
I wanna run to you, I wanna call,
But Ive been hit by lightening.
Just cant stand up for fallin apart.
Cant see through this veil across my heart, over you.
Youll always be the one.
You were the first, youll be the last.
God's Cry:
Wherever you go, Ill be with you.
Whatever you want, Ill give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Whatever you want, Ill give it to you.
Wherever you go, Ill be with you.
And whatever you want, Ill give it to you.

God's love is like a consuming flame. Once He touches your soul, you will forever be smitten. As soon as you realize that He is pursuing you, nothing else will keep you heart warm. His flame is eternal. How close do you want to get to it? Don't be afraid to look.
Have a great day!
Have a great day!
