Have you ever been sick & tired of being sick & tired?
Not a fever~y kind of sick,
but a WEARINESS that overcomes your soul.
Even though I was clinging to JESUS,
I was getting sick & tired of having to depend on HIM so much.
I know that doesn't sound so christian~ese,
but actually it is,
because JESUS knows about our WEARINESS
as HE tells us to
"Come to ME all who are WEARY and burdened" (Matthew 11;28).
Oh how I BURDEN myself when I am carrying
frustration, sadness, anger & ______,
when WEARINESS gets the best of me,
because I can't control what I want to control
But GOD tells us
"Let us not become WEARY in doing good..." (Galatians 6:9),
I am not trying to win a medal of GOODness,
as the only GOOD that I do is when I OBEY GOD.
So when GOD and JESUS are both addressing WEARINESS,
then I need to address WEARINESS.
To be WEARY or not to be WEARY~
is it the question or is it the answer?
Well, I PRESSED FORWARD in obedience and sat with GOD again~
to give HIM another chance (hmmm),
when actually HE gives me another chance all the time.
My heart was immediately opened to the why behind my frustration.
I didn’t believe JESUS could UNWEARY me.
I didn't believe that HE could do anything that would take away
the pain, the anger, & the frustration that feeds
WEARINESS.
Well HE is faithful.
HE showed up because I did.
Immediately I was back in my JOYFUL place!
Just because I feel I have nothing else to give,
doesn’t mean that JESUS doesn’t have anything else to give!
HE never WEARIES of us,
as that is
why HE tells us to
"COME TO ME ALL WHO ARE WEARY & BURDENED..."
Like FATHER like SON~
"Do not grow WEARY in doing good
for in for in due time we will reap if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9)
When is the time to not grow WEARY?
Right now whether you or I believe it or not,
because JESUS invites you to
COME TO HIM with your WEARINESS.
And when you show up
HE shows up like never before,
because HE always takes you deeper into
FAITH
to places where you have never been before,
and that my friend
raises you above WEARINESS.
FIRST THINGS FIRST~
"COME TO JESUS"
