STILL LEARNING

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Proverbs 3:5, 6

King James Version

Pastor John Stallings wrote one of my favorite hymns “LEARNING TO LEAN”  “ Sad broken hearted, at an alter I knelt. I found peace that was so serene. And all that He asks is a child like trust, And a heart that is learning to lean Learning to lean, Learning to lean, I'm learning to lean on Jesus. Finding more power than I've ever dreamed, I'm learning to lean on Jesus.”

I don’t know about you but I’m still learning to lean on Jesus.  I think we sometimes carry heavy burdens that we don’t have to carry because we don’t lean on Jesus and trust Him to take care of us.  I believe we hurt Him and break His heart many times because we don’t lean on Him.  May God help us to lean on Jesus.  Our loving Saviour is waiting with His arms open wide for us to run into them so He can comfort us.

If you are lonely, hurting, discouraged and broken hearted, tell Jesus.  He really loves you and He wants you to be happy.  Don’t let satan defeat you and try to keep you from serving Jesus.  It would make satan very happy if we stop serving Jesus.  We must not let that happen!  We must stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us.

O how I love Jesus!  He is the Joy of my heart, the reason I get out of bed in the morning and the reason I’m living.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  He is the “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” and wonder of wonders, not only does He love you, He also loves me.
