The Cord

The cord just lay there. I couldn't reach if from my bed as I awkwardly scooted my body closer. "If I could only get a little closer, Then I could reach it", I thought. With my arm outstretched, the only way for that cord to get into my hand was if it came to me. From that point on, I couldn't have attainted it. I did eventually get a hold of it, as it is why I am able to type this, being my e-thernet cord and all. However, how often does my heart inch closer and closer to God thinking, "If I could only get a little closer, then I could reach Him", but Jesus came to me when I was dead in my sins. In this case, He allowed the fibers of my being to reach out to Him as we joined together, as I now live in a new state of mind, living not for myself, for this world, and for internal happiness, but instead I live in light of the eternal, the Was, and Is, and is Yet To Come. Thank You Jesus for overcoming death that I can live eternally free from these things that once bound me, that no longer reign! What a glorious day that I can celebrate with my Lord Jesus Christ, who has set the captives free!!
