While going through my homemade cross stitch graphs, I came across this poem which was given to me 25 years ago .when I was stationed in Hong Kong while serving in the U.S. Navy.   I received this poem on May 15, 1985 while praying for those I knew who had not yet received Jesus Christ as their Savior.

The Invitation

Stop longing and seeking
For that which you’ve sought
It’s here and it’s yours
And it cannot be bought.

For it’s paid for in full
On the cross of Calvary,
And I give it to you
And your whole family.

All that is required
Is that you believe.
Then ask Me to fill you
And then you’ll receive.

No one who asks
Shall be given a stone,
No one who seeks
Shall ever be alone.

I am reaching out to you!
O what will you say?
Will you let Me love you?
Or will you turn Me away?
