TELL JESUS

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28

King James Version

Pastor Elisha A. Hoffman wrote one of my favorite hymns “I Must Tell Jesus”  I love the words in this wonderful hymn.  “I must tell Jesus all of my troubles, He is a kind, compassionate Friend; If I but ask Him, He will deliver, Make of my troubles quickly an end. I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! I cannot bear my burdens alone; I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! Jesus can help me, Jesus alone."

I have the greatest Pastor in the world.  How thankful I am that God allows me to have Pastor Davis as my Pastor.  I also have many wonderful friends and I have a best friend who I love very much and would die for but my Pastor and my friends can’t see into my heart.  They only know what I tell them but Jesus knows what is in my heart and He cares when I am hurting and He cares when you are hurting.

So many times we try to do things without asking Jesus to help us and then we wonder why we can’t do them.  Jesus told us why we can’t do them by ourselves.  We read in the Bible.  “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5).  If we would only ask Jesus to help us, we wouldn’t have as many problems.  There was a television program that I used to watch “Father Knows Best”.  Our precious Saviour knows what is best for us if we will only trust Him and listen to what He tells us.

There were times when I disobeyed my Mother that she said to me “It doesn’t matter what I say, you’re going to do what you want to do”.  She said that to me many times and I think if we will listen with our heart we will hear Jesus say to us “It doesn’t matter what I say, you’re going to do what you want to do”.  It is time that we start trusting Jesus more than we do because when we don’t trust Him, it hurts Him and breaks His heart.

When is the last time you told Jesus that you love Him?  Jesus has feelings too and He wants us to tell Him we love Him.  If Jesus didn’t tell me every day that He loves me, it would break my heart.  Do you love Jesus?  If you do love Him, what are you doing to prove to Him that you love Him?
