ALL OF IT

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

1 Peter 5:7 KJV

Pastor Charles Price Jones wrote the beautiful hymn “Come unto Me”.  I believe Pastor Jones wrote this hymn from his heart.  “Hear the blessed 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.”

I believe that we have days when we suffer and we don’t have to because we try and do things by ourselves without taking our burdens to Jesus.  Our Saviour has told us that without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).  Jesus loves us and He cares about us.  He wants to help us but we have to ask Him for help.

I learned a long time ago that without Jesus I can’t do anything.  It is because I love Him so much and He helps me that I get out of bed when I am sad and hurting.  I’ve lost track of the countless times He has picked me up and carried me through the dark valleys.  What a precious loving Saviour we have!

Heavenly Father, You are a tender loving and compassionate Father.  Thank You for all You have done for us and for all You do for us every day.  Thank You for giving Your beloved Son to die for our sins.  Jesus, I love You so much.  You have been so faithful to me.  Thank You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
