IT IS WORTH IT

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28 KJV

Evangelist Charles D. Tillman wrote a beautiful hymn “When I Get To The End Of The Way”.  “He loves me too well to forsake me, Or give me a trial too much; His people have been dearly purchased, And Satan can never claim such. By and by I shall see Him and praise Him, In the city of unending day;”

It is worth all the heartaches and trials we go through when we are serving Jesus just to know that we are making Him happy by serving Him and that one day we will see Him face to face.  Are you carrying a heavy burden or going through dark valleys and you don’t think you can go on?  Tell Jesus and He will help you.

When we get discouraged and feel like giving up, we need to remember that when Jesus was here on His mission, He didn’t give up even though He was rejected, cursed, mocked and forsaken.  Jesus loves us so much that He endured all the heartaches and trials so we can be saved.

If Jesus willingly left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die for us, we should be willing to do all we can do to serve Him and make Him happy.  If ever someone deserves to be praised, it is Jesus.  Please lift up your voice in praises to the One Who loves you so much He died for you.

Heavenly Father, there are so many people who are going through dark valleys and are lonely and discouraged.  You have been so faithful to encourage me when I go through dark valleys.  Please encourage those who are hurting.  Let them know how much You love them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
