Your Salvation: Look Up

I thought I would include this writing for any of those visitors on my website that may be soul-searching. I hope it will help illustrate the need for salvation in someone’s heart.

And if you are searching, searching, searching for answers, they may be closer than you think, if you can bear it. It’s just that Satan, the temporary lord of this world, (and of this world only, and not the world to come, nor of heaven), would have you believe the ordinary. He would have to you believe the natural, and the sensual - only those things that you can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. But for those of you who may be searching for something deeper underneath this seemingly primordial existence, this is for you:

Look Up 

I can feel the heartbeat of this planet, and know that it grows faint. I can see the breathing of this planet, and know that it is labored. I can see the heart of this planet, that it is lonely. I can see the hunger of this world, that it is desperate.

Oh you people of the earth! You citizens of this fleeting world! Look up! Look to heaven above! Is not the heavens higher than the earth? All of creation looks upward to the One who has made both heaven and earth. The grasses of the field do mourn and long for the Savior. The birds fly nearer, but reach still higher heaven-ward for the Messiah. The trees stretch forth their arms for the Alpha and Omega.

You who are heavy; you who are burdened; you who are weary and lonesome; you who are dumbfounded and confused: Look upward.

There is one, whose name is Jesus Christ. There is one. He alone can revive your broken heart. He alone can repair a shattered world. He alone can redeem a hopelessly lost lamb. He alone can pick up the pieces and bring light to the darkness.

Look up, turn your heart heaven-ward, and call upon this name: Jesus Christ.
