Simply Trusting Jesus

 

Simply Trusting Jesus

 

 

Nothing seems simple when you are trusting the Savior...trusting Him to heal your precious friend who's body is ravaged by cancer.  As you stand by her bedside holding her hand, stroking her brow, wiping her tears and perspiration while she weeps in fear and pain...your heart quietly praying and singing..."Tis' so sweet to trust in Jesus....just to take Him at His Word..."  Just to rest...Rest...yes, resting in Jesus....simply trusting Him and resting in Him.

 

 

 

 

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."  Matthew 11:28

I will give you rest...a promise sure and sweet from our gracious and merciful Father.  A promise we can certainly rest in...we can lay our burdens in...all of them.  
 

The burden of...

 

Cancer

 

Pain

 

Heartache

 

Fear...

 

 

Yes, FEAR....fear of the unknown...fear of leaving a young child motherless...fear of leaving a husband...fear of leaving a mother childless...fear of saying goodbye, too soon...fear of closing your eyes and not knowing if they will open again...fear of....

 

 

REST --- Oh, let me rest in You, dear Lord...let my sweet friend find perfect, assured, all-comforting rest for her mind, her body and her soul in You.  Rest...a release of mind-aches, heart-aches, soul-aches...Rest...that You have not finished with me...with her...Rest...in that there are still things to be accomplished in her, through her, with her, for her, because of her...BECAUSE OF YOU!

 

 

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6

Simply trusting and resting in You, Jesus...taking You at Your Word, Lord...that You will perform it...TRUSTING SIMPLY.
