The Storms of Life

Wherever you and I are, in a little boat, in a room alone, or in a crowd, on a walk, or a run, Jesus, if He is not right there with you, in your thoughts, is on His way to meet you.

All can be calm, and then the storms of life come upon us. The storms of the thoughts of doubt, fear, sin, failure. The thoughts of what to believe about God and myself, because there are so many different teachings about so many issues in the Bible.

All of these thoughts are like the wind blowing contrary to us being secure in Christ. We begin to cry out in fear, or just want to quit, "what's the use." "I've struggled for years with this sin"; " no one else knows or cares and neither do I."

Then Jesus appears, in the midst of the storm, and calls us to walk to Him by faith; to trust Him in the raging sea like it's a sunny day.

His word to us today is "come to Me, all of you who are laboring and heavy laden, and I will give you Myself, your resting place." "Don't try and change yourself, someone else, or your circumstances or situations, just come to Me, trust Me. Are your hands dirty and are you double-minded and confused?"

"Come near to Me and I will come near to you and will do not only the possible but the impossible."

He will never change His mind about His love for you that will never let you go.
