There is a native, elemental homing instinct in our souls which turns us to God as naturally as the flower turns to the sun. RUFUS M. JON
The Jews then murmured at him, because he said I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last days.
JOHN 6:41-44 KJV
There is a spot within our spirit that is spiritually like a highly refined and polished piece of stainless steel. This spot constantly feels the magnetic drawing power of the Father, and the direction that we are being pulled is toward the Son Jesus. The force and power that draws us to Jesus is the Holy Spirit. The power of pure love has a drawing affect that can only be resisted by exercising a strong self-will. Other than that, we are naturally drawn to this greater love. The power of God through the Holy Spirit draws us to Jesus, and when Jesus becomes a part of out everyday life the Holy Spirit will take up residence in the very spot that is so drawn to God. Luke recorded in the Book of Acts chapter 1 verse 8 that when the Holy Ghost is come upon us we will receive power, that same magnetic power to be witnesses for Jesus. How true it is that when a person has a life changing spiritual experience through belief in Jesus, that new power within them will draw others. Being a witness for Jesus is easy when there is a supernatural magnetic power within us drawing others to us. My AA sponsor tells me that, one tear is worth a thousand words. Oh my, how this has been true in my life. When I see those who have gotten a hold of that magnetic drawing power, and out of pure love and joy their eyes water up when they share. One tear has the magnetic drawing power of a thousand words. We can walk away from the drawing power of God, but we cant stop the pull. I am so grateful that God does not give up on me, and that I am learning to live my life in the flow of God drawing power. God is doing for me what I could not do for myself JRE
Deep down in every man, woman, and child, is the fundamental idea of God. It may be obscured by calamity, by pomp, by worship of other things, but in some form or other it is there. For faith in a Power Greater than ourselves, and miraculous demonstrations of that power in human lives, are facts as old as man himself.

In a sense we are all, in some way, outcasts until we meet the Lord. We are thirsty for people to love and accept us. We drink from many wells to try to satisfy our longings, but eventually, we tire of always having to draw water to get our needs met. Each of us asks, Isnt there someone who will give me water without manipulating me or requiring me to jump through hoops for it? Isnt there someone who will love me just for who I am? Then Jesus appears at high noon.
