Jesus wants to save all of me.
Mt. 6:33
Day after day I carry my load. I don't mind too much, or I'd do something about it. But I'm used to carrying it. Most days I don't think it's too bad.
Then one day You added something to my load and suddenly it became way too heavy for me to carry. I turned to Jesus to take that added item off my load.
Frankly, Lord I only wanted help with the thing that was making life miserable. I never realized You wanted to show me how to lighten the whole. What I didn't know at the time was that You wanted to save all of me.
"Come unto Me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
Lord, I am so grateful that You are not in the band aid business, but in the business of redemption. You're amazing the way You take the one thing I give to you and use it as leverage to grant me LIFE instead of existence. Thank You that Your burden is light.
