There is something inside you that is hard to explain but you know it’s there…
I feel it many times & it’s more than a feeling…it’s something deep inside me…
I can sense it deep inside me when I go back home & walk the farmland I grew up on…it’s like I have a connection to the land.
I can sense it when I have moving conversations with my adult children & their presence in my life stirs something deep inside me
I can sense it when I engage my grandchildren in conversation or see them run to me with glee…their presence stirs something deep inside me
I can sense it when people continue to promote the killing of unborn children…their needless death triggers something deep inside me.
When I do funerals & I witness those who have no intimate relationship with Jesus…something deep inside me mourns.
When I am I not able to meet here on a Sunday & I see all your faces in my heart…the deep inside me aches for Jesus’ church in Sheridan.
When I speak of the incredible kindness that Jesus gave me when He forgave me of my sin…the deep inside me stirs spilling out into tears.
It can’t be seen, it can’t be diagnosed with a lab value, CT scan, MRI, or an Xray…but we all know this deep.
Some of us try hard to hide the deep from ourselves & from others,
we don’t address the deep within us & we don’t want others to see the deep within us...but the deep can’t be avoided.
Here’s why….
Because there is a deep calling out to the deep of you…
Read Psalm 42:7
What is this deep that calls to deep?
I believe the deep in this scripture is referring to the deep of our God and the deep of our soul.
The deep of our God, meaning the heart of our God is calling out to the deep of you or the heart of you.
