IS YOUR HEART BURNING?


Luke 24:32 (NKJV) 32 And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us ...?"
      Like the disciples we spend a little time with Jesus and grow confident all is well. Then tragedy strikes and we find ourselves despairing, hopeless and asking where is Jesus? He is not gone we have become complacent, satisfied with the everyday living believing in our selves and no longer trusting Him.
     Have you awakened to a torn heart, a day you do not want to go through, the temptation right here is to hide and suffer, to close all outside influence out and withdraw. Do Not, Jesus says, "come to Me" Matthew 11:28 right now go to Him, you have wandered away and He wants you to come close. Why, how can He help? I am so glad you asked. Jesus says, "I will give you rest," He will and He does.
     When we first asked Him to forgive us of our sins and come into our lives, our confession allowed Jesus to enter us at our lowest level, we can get to Him no other way. In despair we find ourselves at our lowest level again in need and He is there to take the heavy burden we have assumed and lift it up off of us and bear it together. Nothing is allowed in our lives that does not first go through Him, He has carried our sorrows Isaiah 53:4 and it is Jesus alone that will take us through the trials. Let your heart burn again with the presence of Jesus, trust Him right now to get you through.
Heavenly Father the pressures seem too much, but I know You have been there. Help me to see and hear You and trust all these things to your hands again. Let me fall again into your hands that I might find Your promised rest, thank You for what You are doing. Amen
