A REMINDER TO TRUST JESUS

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”

1 John 5:3-5 KJV

A dad who was very worried about his older daughter was discouraged, sad and in tears.  His younger daughter reminded him that he had said to them “Faith means not to worry”.  What a reminder to us that we should trust Jesus at all times.  May God help us to stop worrying and trust Jesus.

Rev. John Henry Yates wrote one of my favorite hymns “Faith Is the Victory”.  The words in this hymn are so true.  “Faith is the victory!  Faith is the victory!  O glorious victory, that overcomes the world.”  Do we trust Jesus to help us even when we think that we can’t give another smile or take another step?

Just as the little girl reminded her dad to trust Jesus, we need to remember that we can trust Jesus.  Our tender loving and precious Saviour has never let us down and He never will.  We must always remember that Jesus has endured more pain than we will ever know so He understands how it hurts and He cares.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus and for loving us so much You sent Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins.  Jesus, thank You for loving us unconditionally and for dying for our sins.  Heavenly Father, I love You.  Jesus, I love You.  Holy Spirit, I love You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
