Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today: "A Cry from the Heart!"

Today's Bible reading: Isaiah 58:9-12 (NIV) . . . Visit Bible Gateway every day!

Playing house, next to playing school, was one of my favorite things to do. I had many, many dolls, and at night, I would "kneel" them down at the living room sofa, exhorting them to "pray through." Remember the walk-me/feed-me/change-Me/CRY-me doll you used to have? They're alot more sophiscated now, with computer chips to make a doll walk, talk, cry, eat, wet and cry some more--all at the same time...well, almost! As children, we had fun playing "parent"--entering the grown-up world through the make-believe door. And then one day, the door to imagination opened to reality. We found ourselves adults--and parents--and grown-up real people with real needs--who REALLY needed to "pray through!"

We're too big to cry now--or are we? NO-a thousand times NO! Check out your Bible concordance for the word "cry"--it's there MANY times. Our Bible heroes cried to the Lord and He heard. He's not changed--WE can cry to Him as well, from the depths of our hearts, and He hears. And there's nothing make-believe about Him! Come along to the Well, grown-up kids--He's waiting there to hear us all!

"Jesus, help me....hold me....heal me!"
Read the rest of this devotional, "A Cry from the Heart"

"Lord, life isn't just make-believe anymore. Inside, I hurt. I need help and healing--and there's no one else to run to, but You. I've tried everyone else--and all the time You've been waiting to help me, hold me, heal me--if I would just call. I'm calling now, Lord. Hear my cry--and help me know You are there. You are all I need, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
