HIS ARMS OF LOVE

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30 KJV

We have a compassionate and loving Saviour.  His arms of mercy and love are open to us all the time.  When we are weary, lonely, discouraged and brokenhearted, all we have to do is run into His arms of love and He will give us rest.  He picks us up and carries us until the hurt and the pain goes away.

Not only does He carry us in His loving arms, He sets us once again on the mountain top of happiness.  There is nobody who loves you like Jesus loves you.  He understands how we feel when someone says something or does something that hurts us.  Jesus knows how much it hurts to be ridiculed and abused.

When you are discouraged and brokenhearted, run into the open waiting and loving arms of Jesus and allow Him to comfort and encourage you.  Just as His arms were outstretched as He hung on the cross for us, so His arms of love are open for us today.  He loves you and He is waiting for you to come to Him.

Heavenly Father, I pray that others will see the love of Jesus in my smiles.  Please help us to love one another unconditionally just as Jesus has commanded us to love each other.  Thank You, dear Father, for adopting me into Your family.  I love You and appreciate You so much.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
