THE HIDDEN CRY

It’s your soul crying out for God…… 

He made it, and it reaches out for Him.

There is a great restlessness

sweeping over the face of the earth;

much running to and from. - Daniel 12:4.

A confusing and foolish

search for pleasure prevails,

Instead of man turning earnestly to God

for the answer to his soul’s quest.

Many people give up honesty

and decency with the vain hope

of satisfying this aching void within.

In their attempt to fill this emptiness,

It is natural for people to pursue

“the lust of the flesh,

the lust of the eyes,

and the pride of life.” - 1 John 2:16.

Many people are being

led farther and farther

into Satan’s trap with these lusts. 

At the last day they will face

the piercing truth, that Satan

was a deceiver and that sinful,

carnal living was only an illusion.

At the end of life’s way they

will be cast into the fiery pit of hell.

There they will suffer untold torment

and agony through the never-ending ages

of eternity - Matthew 25:41;  Rev 20:10; 21:8.

Today is still the day of grace,

the time when sinners can come

to the Lord for forgiveness. 

Today, if your heart is throbbing

and crying out for peace and rest,

turn to Him whom your soul loves. 

Sin separates from God. 

And there is only one who can save you.

That one is Jesus,

the only begotten son of God - John 3:16.

He longs to save you. 

He alone can give you rest of heart and mind. 

He so tenderly invites “Come unto me,

all you that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest” - Matt 11:28.

Jesus suffered and died on the cross

to redeem our souls -1Peter 2:24. 

We were the guilty ones! 

Justice demanded that each of us

should die-even the eternal death. 

But because of this redemption, 

death shall be “swallowed up

in victory” -1 Cori 15:54. 

Jesus was the innocent

“Lamb of God, which takes away

the sin of the world.” - John 1:29. 

He loved the souls of men so much

that He was willing to leave

His Father’s throne with all its glories

and come to this earth. 

Jesus lived here as a man

and then gave His life on the cross. 

He shed His blood to atone for our sins. 

“That whosoever believeth 

In him should not perish,

but have eternal life” -1 John 3:15.
