Be Free

Are you feeling tired today?

Does the world around you seem a tad more confusing today than yesterday?  Do you feel like you can't possibly go on or give another step?

Then come to Jesus.  He will give you rest.  He will comfort your soul (Psalm 23:2,3).  He will quench your thirsty soul with His cold, refreshing, living water (Jn 4:14; Jn7:37, 38) .  He will calm you anxious heart and bring peace to your troubled mind (Is 26:3; Zeph 3:17).

Do you trust Him?  Believe Him {that's right folks, don't just believe IN Him, believe HIM}  Believe Him 'cause your life depends on it (John 6:63).  Believe Him because He is worthy (2 Tim 2:13).  Believe Him because He loves  you (Jeremiah 31:3)... He L.O.V.E.S. you.  He gave Himself for you. Can you not see?  He gave all for you.  ALL! His life, His blood, His flesh, His reputation, His status... (Mk 10:33-34; Mt 26:28; Lk 22:19; Phil 2:5-8) You shall never find a more perfect, dedicated, committed companion, lover, friend.  In Him we find strength (Is 26:4).  He is the giver of all good and perfect things (James 1:17).  He is life Himself.  Nothing exists apart from Him (Col 1:16-17).  In Him we can do all things (Phil 4:13).

Are you feeling tired today?  Then come cast your cares at the foot of the cross today (1 Pet 5:6-7).  Trade your concerns, burdens, shortcomings and whatever else brings you down, for His yoke and follow Him (Mt 11:28-30).

"A highway shall be there, and a road,  and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness... Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray... And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads.  They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." (Isaiah 35:8,10)
