Heartaches







   Hello Friendly People,
            What a lesson I have learned! The frailty of our bodies cannot hold the sorrows and burdens we carry. We sometimes think our lamenting, tears and sackcloth will help those we carry on our bent backs, we are not called but only to trust and ask God to do what we cannot do, even in our deepest love for people. When we play God those we love don't see it as love at all. We are left with the bags of misunderstanding weighing us down and our mouth hanging open wondering how we made such a mess of loving. Loving.........He is love. Lets learn from Him how to be gentle and humble of heart in our loving. 


Matthew 11
V28 "Come to Me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
V29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 
V30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."



    Can we leave what belongs in His hands, in His hands. When we choose to hold what belongs to Christ we ensue devastating consequences in these earthly vessels. 


How long has it been since you read this chapter? I challenge you to memorize it.


Isaiah 53
V3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, or ( familiar with suffering). Like one from whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
V4 Surely  He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows. but we considered him stricken by God, smitten by Him, and afflicted.
V5 but He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.
V6 We all, like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
V7 He  was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
V8 By oppression and judgement He was taken away, And who can speak of His descendants? For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people He was stricken.
V9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked and with the rich in His death, though He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
v10 Yet it was the Lord's will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer, and though the Lord makes His life a quilt offering, He will see His offspring and prolong His days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
V11 After the suffering of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied; by His knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities. 
V12 Therefore I will give Him a portion among the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He poured out His life into death, and was numbered with the transgressors, For He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.  




Thank you Jesus!.........




                       Never give up! Never give in!
