Season of Migration

I once read that if you cage a migrating bird during migration season that it will struggle to get out of that cage. There is a calling of nature for the bird to migrate. If you wait until migration season has ended, then that same bird would not so readily leave the cage. The season of migration reminds me of God's Holy Spirit. He calls to the hearts of man to come to God! You have probably heard people say they came to salvation when they felt God's calling on their heart. Jesus taught us in John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him. God's spirit strives with man and pulls at his heart to lead him to Christ. The definition of strive is: make great efforts to achieve or obtain something
So God's spirit makes a great effort to lead souls to Jesus.
but he also said way back in Genesis 6:3 that his spirit would not always strive with man. So when he has tried over and over again and man refuses to heed the call, then God will do as he said in Romans 1:28 and he will turn them over to a reprobate mind. Reprobate means: A person rejected by God and beyond hope of salvation. Friend, you are not a caged migrating bird that can't follow the calling upon your soul. You are a free spirit that can answer, here am I Lord when he speaks to your heart. If you sit back and don't listen when he calls your name, then one day, he will stop calling. Then you will be like the caged migrating bird, you will not feel the tug on your heart to run to God. God will still love you and you can still run to him, but your season of migration may come to an end. Isaiah 55:6 (KJV)
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
