Jesus and you

‘Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted’ Isaiah 53:4

Turning you life over to Jesus, does not mean that you will have a problemless life, it does not mean that every thing will go your way, it does mean that you will be given problems and situations that you and God can go through. We know this, because He has already gone through and suffered your problem for you. He will never give you something that you cannot get through. Now do not go and ask Him to make you strong; thinking that if you go through something it will make you stronger – Yes that is true you will be made stronger but He has given you just enough troubles to go through, at just the right problem level, don’t ask Him to make it harder – you might give up.

Keep your eyes focused on Jesus – read every day, pray all the time but especially pray at morning and at night on your knees when you can have just you and Jesus time. Pray for your friends – pray for your enemies (that is a hard one).

I am reminded on something I read about a picture of a person so covered with holes that when the picture was held up to the light, Jesus shown through.
