Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day (John 6:44). Again, Jesus said,"And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself" (John 12:32, NKJV).
No one comes to Christ unless God the Father draws us (John 6:44-45). Albrecht Oepke, the author of a Kittel's article on John 6:44 and 12:32, explains how the Father draws us: "There is no thought here of force or magic. The term figuratively expresses the supernatural power of the love of God or Christ which goes out to all ... but without which no man can come" (Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, Abridged Edition, ed. Gerhard Kittel) 227.
God the Father draws you to Christ without any violence to your will. There is no coercion. The Spirit of God's love works in your heart to transform your life (Romans 5:5). Those who come to Christ "love Him, because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19).
John 12:32 teaches that you come to Christ because God draws you, as well as people out of all nations. Likewise, Jesus said that He would be lifted up from the earth, that is Christ crucified, drawing all people unto Himself. The word draw in John 12:32 is the same word used in John 6:44. Understand that God "works in you both to will and do for His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13). God draws and enables you to come by faith to the Lord Jesus Christ.
