What a Friend we have in Jesus!

Hi, well I know it has been a very long time since I have last written on the blog. But something has happened to me, that I cannot keep silent about. It happened to me tonight, as I got down on my knees and gave my heart back to Jesus. I had a wonderful conversation with the King of the Universe Himself. There were so many things in my life that had fallen to pieces. The first thing to fall apart, was my prayer life. Friends! I cannot stress this enough. It is so important that we make time for Jesus. He loves us and wants what is best for us, but if we are not willing to spend time talking to Him and surrendering to Him how can He help us. As I prayed tonight about surrendering something that was very difficult a story came to my mind that had been told at an evangelistic series. The story was about a little boy who would not shake a man's hand because he had a marble clenched in his own hand. The hand he would not shake was Dwight Moody's hand. Finally the fingers were opened, and the marble was taken. So many times in life, we have things that we just don't want to give to God. We end up holding onto them like that little marble, and won't let them go. I was no different. So tonight I prayed that if Jesus wanted me to give up the marble, or the thing I was holding onto in my life, that He would take it, because I did not have the strength to give it, and do you know what He told me! He told me that He would take care of it! You see friends, we do not go about our lives looking at all the things we are or are not doing right. No! That is not the right place to start. Instead the right place to start is by coming to Jesus and talking to Him. My life was falling apart, and my actions were following accordingly, and the reason for that was a struggle that I was facing inside, of something I did not have the strength to give up, and I knew it. Yet the amazing thing is that God works in us. Our only duty friends is to spend time with Jesus. We must talk to Him, and share our burdens with Him, and then we must read His Word, and then once again ask Him to do the things that we cannot do. I cannot tell you how many times Jesus has come to my rescue and been there for me. He will do the same for you too! Why don't you ask Him to come into your life. It doesn't matter what you have done, or may be doing. Come to Jesus!. The following verse is a verse we went over in my Revelation class. I found it to be very encouraging, and I just want you to know that Jesus message to me, goes for you too!
17The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
