Attracted to the Light - Falling in "like" and in Love with Jesus

Some of my favorite moments on the water are when I see folks at/in our floating congregation realize that they not only feel loved by Jesus but are fascinated by Him and feel an irresistible urge to pursue relationship with Jesus.  I love watching the bride of Christ internalizing His love and in turn falling "in like" and "in love" with Jesus.

An extreeeeeemly old song about loving Jesus that mentions being "attracted to the light" is as follows.......

Dust to Dust by Keith Green

Sometimes it's hard to see
Sometimes it's hard to get through to me
But I want to do
All that you ask me to

Help me to follow through
Make every day a devotion to You
Cause it's dust to dust
Until we learn how to trust

Sometimes I wander away
And I'm lost in the dark
My faith starts to sway
I don't know what to do
So I cry out to you

And I reach out in the air
And I call Your name
And you're always there
Then You send down your light
Then You tell me
Walk by faith not by sight

And then you come shining down

I'm putting Your armor on
Finding myself so suddenly drawn
Like a moth to a flame
Whenever I hear Your name

Thankful for the countless times I've witnessed folks suddenly drawn in powerful ways to the Name of Jesus!  Thanks to many of your for being a part of those great moments on the water!
