Even though believers have fervent desires and are stirred to seek the Lord, yet they cannot but become conscious at the same time of an inadequate measure of strength for such arduous pursuit. The power to pursue is not just the power given by the Holy Spirit and deposited within us to enable us to seek Him. It is not that alone. Rather, it is a revelation of the Lord Jesus given by the Holy Spirit as outside and way beyond us, and thus drawing us to Himself by His own beauty and magnificent glory. The drawing power of the Person of the Lord Jesus Himself generates the pursuing power in us. If the Lord draws us by the revelation of Himself through His Spirit, then the seeking after Him is relatively easy. If the Lord draws, then “we will run after thee.” To run after means a continuous desire. It is the attracting power of the Lord Himself which alone creates the continuous power to so seek and so run. This is something we must learn and understand. No man of His own volition is able to seek out and come into the realized presence of the Lord of glory.

When we were yet sinners we needed the leading of the Holy Spirit, and only by His help were we able to come to the Lord. Likewise, after we have become believers, we still need that same help in order to run after the Lord with continuous desire.

Here also we see a believer’s relationship to all other believers. It is I who am drawn (“draw me”), but it is we who run after Him. It is I who am being led into the inner chambers, but it is we who will “be glad and rejoice. ”Whenever the individual believer receives grace from the presence of the Lord, then other believers cannot but receive favorable impressions......

Aakarshikka enne karthave

Thirunivasam ethra manoharam

Kurikilum meevalum vasichiduvan

Ninte sannidhi kandethiyallo

Ninte pinnale enne valikka

Snehacharadal bandhikka Nee

Kroosile snehathal enne aakarshikka

Lokathe verukkan krupa chorika

Nithyamayi ninnil vasichiduvan

Nithya dayayale aakarshika 

Christhivul ninnene verpirikkathatham

Nithyasnehathale Aakarshika
