OUR ENCOURAGER

"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

John 14:18
King James Version

Rev. Charles P. Jones wrote one of my favorite hymns "COME UNTO ME". I love the words in this inspiring heart toucning hymn.

"Hear the blessèd Savior Calling the oppressed O ye heavy laden, Come to Me and rest. Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear, Bring Me every burden, Bring Me every care.

Come unto Me, I will give you rest; Take My yoke upon you, Hear Me and be blessed. I am meek and lowly, Come and trust My might. Come, My yoke is easy, And My burden’s light.

Are you disappointed, Wandering here and there, Dragging chains of doubt And loaded down with care? Do unholy feelings Struggle in your breast? Bring your case to Jesus— He will give you rest."

It is wonderful to have friends and we all need friends but Jesus is the best Friend we will ever have. He never shouts at us, makes fun of us, or ignores us when we are talking to Him. However, the greatest thing He does for us is He never leave us, not even for a minute.

Do you realize what a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world? He proved how much He loves us when He walked that long lonely road to be crucified for something He had not done.

If anyone ever tells you that nobody loves you, remember Jesus loves you. He loved you yesterday. He loves you today and He will love you forever. Thank You, Jesus, for loving us and for encouraging us.
