“Did you think that I didn’t hear you when you cried out to Me in your time of need ?
Truly, I did hear you.
If I hear the final cry of every sparrow that falls in death, would I not hear you ?
“ Did you wonder if I was listening when you prayed to Me for an answer to the troubles that weighed you down ?

Indeed, I was listening.
If I listen intently for the very heartbeat of every baby conceived in the womb, would I not listen when that child prays ?
I listened, and I remember precisely the instant that your heart took it’s first beat; the moment that you took your first gasping breath upon leaving the security of your mother’s womb; the contented sigh of relief at your first belly full of warm milk.
And, though you’ve grown up, I still listen for every word spoken in My direction.

“ Do you think that I don’t know when problems come into your life ?
I know everything there is to know about you !
Even the very hairs of your head are numbered !
I’ve watched you daily, from those first tentative steps and groping words to your very first love; and I was there, cheering you on, though you never knew it.
“ Did you think that I was unconcerned because you didn’t receive an instantaneous answer to your prayer ?

My dear child, I am more concerned for you than you will ever know.
If I were not, would I have sent my son to earth in the flesh and allowed your kind to mock Him, spit on Him, beat Him, and nail Him up on a cross for all to see ?
He gave His life for You !
He poured out His very life’s blood in order to pay a price for your life, and to set you free.!
Would I have done that if I was unconcerned ?

“ Or did you accept the devil’s lie that I didn’t even exist ?
Can you really believe his lies when the very magnitude and complexity of the universe bears witness to the unquestionable fact that they are My handiwork ?
When everything that you can see and not see is a work of My perfection, delicately balanced and timed, from the spiraling galaxies to the spinning atoms ?
Is it possible to comprehend such an intricate work and say,
“ There is no God ” ?
“Take a good look at yourself!
You are the very epitome of My work !
You are My greatest creation !
A one-of-a-kind human being.

Of the seventy billion humans that have lived and walked this planet, there has been no other exactly like you.
I created you perfect !
I created you with a hundred million receptors in your eyes so that you could see the beauty around you; I created you with twenty-four thousand vibrating fibers in your inner ears to hear the softest whisper of the wind; I designed five hundred muscles, two hundred bones, and seven miles of nerve fibers, all wrapped in a renewable, nearly indestructible layer of skin and tissue.
I gave you a heart that pulses hour after hour, day after day, thirty-six million beats a year, pumping blood through more than ninety-six thousand miles of veins and arteries to give your body life and keep it free of disease; and I gave you a brain that is the most complex organ in all of the universe, made up of one-hundred-trillion cells and crisscrossed with twenty-five billion nerve cells to help you retain the minutest memory; and I equipped your body with four million pain-sensitive structures, five hundred thousand touch detectors, and over two hundred thousand temperature detectors !
And then, to top it all off, I gave you the ability to reason, to dream, to imagine, and to speak; things that no other of My creatures can do.
And, as a final touch, after creating that magnificent body that you live in, I created the real you, the inner you, the spirit that I created in My likeness, and I breathed you into your body at the instant of birth.
“ And you were connected to Me then, but you never knew it. "

Deep inside of you you knew, because I planted that knowledge of Me there, but over the years you have allowed the things of the world to choke that knowledge out. In the beginning, however, you were perfect; My greatest creation; molded in My own image.
Don’t you find it really quite humorous, to think that some could adamantly believe that this all came about by chance or evolution ?
Could such a masterpiece have come about simply by chance ?
“ If you can see the truth in this, then how can you think that I didn’t hear you " ?

“ Behold, I am standing at your heart’s door, knocking and asking entrance, but I will not force My will on you.

Call to Me now and ask Me to come in; into your heart and your life.
Call to Me, for I am listening and waiting even as you read this.
I’m only a word away, and if you will invite Me in, I will come in and never will I leave you alone.
Give Me your heart and your love and, as I live, saith the Lord, this day you shall be one with Me in Paradise.”

Forever; Jesus
