I would imagine we have all been here, we all have a jar. A secret jar. It only gets taken out when something bad, or hurtful has happened. We pull our jar out and stuff whatever has happened into our jar, we put on a smile and continue on, like everything is good. When inside we are on fire we are sick with worry, or anger over what has happened to us. But...there is someone who can take the pain, one who will take our jar from us and put it somewhere we will never see it nor hear from it again.
Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
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.”
Psalms 46:1-11 MSG
God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains.secret Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God -of-Angel-Armies protects us. River fountains splash joy, cooling God’s city, this sacred haunt of the Most High. God lives here, the streets are safe, God at your service from crack of dawn. Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten, but Earth does anything he says. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God -of-Angel-Armies protects us. Attention, all! See the marvels of God ! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. “Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything.” Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God -of-Angel-Armies protects us.
Close your eyes for a minute, and imagine the most loving relationship you have in your life. Got a picture of it? I do. It may be a relationship with a spouse, parent, a really good friend...that person would do anything for you, even lay their life down to save yours. God loves each of us this much. Being a parent makes it a little easier for me to see gods love. I would do absolutely anything for my wife, children, parents...and to think as much as I love them, god loves them more...its overwhelming. He loved us so much that while we were not in a place to love him back he loved us so much that he sent his son to earth to bleed and die for all of us.
Jesus wants to remove the baggage you have been carrying, he wants to smash our jar of sins and hurt...question is will you let him? He doesnt want to hurt, only to help.
Listen to the youtube link below...while it is playing if you need rest, if you need your burdens gone because you cant carry them anymore I invite you to cry out to him, let him into your life.
