GIVE THEM TO JESUS

“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

Gordon Mote wrote one of my favorite hymns “Give Them All To Jesus”.  I love these words.  “Give them all Give them all Give them all to Jesus Shattered dreams Wounded hearts Broken toys Give them all Give them all Give them all to Jesus And he will turn your sorrow into joy.”  Jesus wants to help you.

I know from personal experience when we give our burdens and our heartaches to Jesus, He does turn our sorrow into joy.  On August 14, 1980 when I invited Jesus into my heart to be my personal Saviour, He told me that He loves me and would never leave me and He hasn’t left me, not even for a minute.

If you have been trying to forget your problems by getting drunk every day or having sex or doing drugs, it will never work.  You may feel good for a while but after the effects wear off, your problems and heartaches will still be there.  There is only one Person who can help you and His Name is Jesus.

Several years ago, a lady came to see me and told me how bad her marriage was and how hateful and cruel her husband was to her.  Three hours later her husband came to see me and told me how bad his marriage was and how hateful and cruel his wife was to him.  I couldn’t fix their marriage so I gave it to Jesus.

We can’t fix our problems and heartaches by ourselves but Jesus can.  Not only will He fix them, He will also pick us up and carry us until the pain goes away.  I love Jesus so much.
