This is very true, and very true to where i find myself right now. THere are times when the Lord is silent, wanting me to draw to Him; but more then that, there are times when I try to ignore where He wants me to go. Its the Jonah Syndrome.
Turning to Him is hard… but it wouldnt be worth as much if it wasnt.

Rachel, thanks for responding!
At risk of getting technical on you, I would say that no matter what turning to him is priceless, but that often we can only understand how much he is worth (and ourselves for that matter) through hard times. In what you shared, I am reminded of C.S. Lewis’s metaphor for pain and suffering, that it is God’s megaphone to rouse the attention of a spiritually deaf and hard-hearted world.
