Can the Deaf Hear the Voice of Love?

A Verse from the Song You're Everything
By the David Crowder Band


So raise me up
from this grave
you touch my tongue
and then I'll say:
Heal my limbs
and joyfully I'll run to you...


I woke up today like every other morning, did my routine, did all my Mommy things, sat down at my computer and was led to play this song.....and here I am typing.....

Found myself thinking, how long was I deaf and did not hear the Voice of Love?
And how many people are out there and they remain deaf and numb to the Voice of Love?

If you look back on your life and you have not been a Christian your whole life etc, can you even remember what is was like before you accepted Jesus into your heart/life?

All I can remember is that there was darkness, I did feel numb to my surroundings, and I was alone, no warmth.......

It was as if I had been dead for nineteen years and one day the numbness was penetrated and light/warmth/love filled me and I have not looked back since....

I mean I was shown a whole new world that I had no idea existed, and since then I have had so many experiences, in 7 years I have seen alot of God's Glory Shown, and I could never now imagine my life any different...

Going back to my previous statement/question:

How many people are out there and they remain deaf and numb to the Voice of Love?

Do I believe that they will always be deaf and numb?

Do I think they are unreachable?


No!

God can penetrate the deafest of people, there is nothing he can not do, all it takes is a small trace of willingness to hear on our part, our souls cry out, and God is not deaf to that, he wants all of us to come to life through him...

Ezekiel 37:3-5

He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"

And I answered, "O Lord GOD, You know."

Again He said to me, Prophesy over these bones and say to them,

'O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.'

"Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones,

'Behold, I will cause breath to enter you

that you may come to life.


I think this perhaps is my favorite passage from the Bible,
it is a powerful message...


I need not say anymore,
because that passage says it all!


Blessings.
