Ezekiel 14 – recapture me!

I grew up on Michael Card, and I greatly enjoyed his music (I still do!).  For my birthday one year, my mom offered to get me a two-disc set of his, but we both thought incorrectly that it was called The Word and I was given the CD to the left…

This must have been God-ordained, for one song on the album stood out to me – Recapture Me.  That phrase “recapture me” is repeated over and over in the song.  Michael Card writes out of Scripture and bases many of his albums on different Biblical passages.  This one is based on the prophets, and I read in the liner notes that this song was pulled out of Ezekiel 14.  I read the chapter and was blown away.  I just read it and was blown away again!

God desires to recapture my heart.  He desires to recapture your heart.  Sure, most of the chapter is about God’s wrath and judgment, but He talks about His desire to recapture the hearts of those that had walked away.

I know He has pursued and recaptured my heart – time after time after time after time.  Has He pursued your heart?  Has He recaptured it?  I’d love to hear how He’s done that for you.  He did it for me in Mexico when I had given up hope in Him.
