I know what I am supposed to do,
yet I am getting tired of doing it.
You may not like to hear this,
but I am getting
WEARY in FOLLOWING JESUS.
It may sound like I am
GIVING UP on JESUS,
but I am not,
but maybe I am.
I have been CLINGING to HIM with
my
ALL,
just like HE said~
"COME TO ME ALL WHO ARE WEARY AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST",
yet I am waiting for the REST that HE PROMISES to give.
THE REST that I am actually missing,
because my definition of REST
and HIS definition of REST are different.
REST to me is
the ANSWER to my UNANSWERED PRAYER
that is so dear on my heart.
I am more FIXED on the ANSWER that is not being ANSWERED,
that I am missing
"THE REST" OF JESUS.
Hmm.
So the WEARINESS I am feeling is not the fault of JESUS.
GOD is doing it again,
through this confession of mine,
and that
HE just ANSWERED ALL my UNANSWERED prayers.
HIS ANSWER is JESUS.
JESUS,
who isn't to blame for my WEARINESS.
For JESUS
means what HE says and says what HE means~
"COME TO ME ALL WHO ARE WEARY AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST",
So you get to experience with me
what is happening right now in my heart,
and maybe this will help you.
ASK GOD your questions.
TELL HIM whatever is on your heart,
without editing it
to make it sound more CHRISTIAN~ESE,
because HE already
KNOWS EXACTLY what is on your heart, mind, and soul.
For all GOD wants is
an HONEST RELATIONSHIP with you.
The WEARINESS OF FOLLOWING JESUS is dissipating,
as GOD gently brought me back to HIS TRUTH,
to be FIXED ON JESUS,
instead of being so
FIXED ON my WEARINESS.
Oh how easy it is to BLAME GOD or to BLAME JESUS
for our discontent,.
BUT JESUS
isn't the reason behind my WEARINESS,
for JESUS never GIVES UP on me & you & everyone else.
It is us who GIVES UP!
For JESUS IS MY REST.
Oh how I MISS JESUS when I am too FIXED on myself.
Meanwhile JESUS is so FIXED on me and on you,
that all HE asks is for us to~
"Come to ME, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened,
and I will cause you
to REST [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls].
Take MY yoke upon you and learn of ME, f
or I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find
rest (]relief and ease and refreshment
and [recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls" (Mathew 11:28-29).
Now that was a mouthful,
as I am still chewing on it fully,
so that it feeds my
whole body, mind, and soul.
Are you WEARY?
Do you NEED REST?
Will you join me and
COME to JESUS with ALL your burdens,
and leave them at HIS FEET
and then grab
HIS HAND
and
FOLLOW HIM
in the REST
that only HE can give.
For JESUS says,
"DON'T GIVE UP ON ME"
