He’s Calling, Are you Listening?
Someone needs to hear this. Even if you think no one cares for you, Jesus the High Priest is interceding and praying on your behalf, he is our High Priest before God, praying continuously for you. He wants you, do you want him?
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Matthew 11:28
I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.
Jeremiah 31:25
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:6
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!
Isaiah 53:4
But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.
Isaiah 53:5
For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:21
He gave himself away for you. He knew no one else was coming, no one else decided to take the death mission to rescue the stranded, it was him the Joy of Heaven, the King of Heaven. Who for eons and ages lived in Glory, bathed in Power and in a world free from troubles, sorrows, griefs, pain, suffering, loneliness, yet he decided to put them aside to come save you. The Bible states that if Jesus, the Good Shepard, had 99 sheep and lost 1, he would leave the 99 to come find the 1 that was lost. Maybe that is you today
Store up foundation in Christ by reading the Bible, and I pray you would find the strength to commit to Christ, so you would respect your self and slowly examine your lifestyle the way you speak, act, slowly changing them with the beliefs you put your heart to when you found Jesus. Do not hesitate, in 1 Timothy 6:10, it states that those who wander from the faith will continually pierce selves with the sorrows of this world, trust in Christ and maintain an open communication with God through prayer and receive his voice by reading his Word. Do not wait to be hurt to come pray or put your trust in Christ, do it today, do it now, he is waiting.
Abide with Me by Henry Francis Lyte
Sung by Val Goldsck
Words by: Henry Francis Lyte as he lay on his death bed, dying from tuberculosis; he survived a few weeks later
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.
Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
