I spent many years sad inside. On the outside you would have never known, but on the inside it was all too lonely.
I had the wonderful gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. I was taught it. In words I could tell you all about it. I had a testimony that it was true. But, I did not really know it. I did not yet know my Savior. I did not truly know Him.
Heaven though knew me and knew that I needed Him. Knew that I wanted to know Him but that I did not know how.
And that is when the trials came. The burdens on my shoulders were placed to teach me. To see if I would turn to what I had been taught. To see if I would try out His promise....
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ya shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matt. 11: 28-30
And so I came. I came crawling to Him. I fell down at His feet and wept. I could not do this life alone. As hard as I tried, as tough as I tried to be, I was weak. I was tired. I was not able to do it on my own. And so I asked, "Please help me. Please. I need Thee."
No sooner did I ask, but I was given. Line upon line. Precept upon precept. Here a little and there a little. I was and am given strength beyond my own, wisdom beyond my understanding, and faith that stifles all my fears.
Is it now always easy? No.
Is now life a walk in the park? Sometimes, because He helps me see.
Is life worth living and loving? Absolutely.
Is He there for you? All you have to do is ask.
