“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
Remember, it’s about My love for you. It always has been and always will be. It may not feel like love at times because you often redefine My love for you to be about you. While my love is for you, it’s always been about my Son, Jesus. Through Jesus, I demonstrate My love for you beyond your prayers for temporary earthly blessings. Through Jesus, you will see that my love for you is eternal. Please don’t get me wrong, I care about what is happening in your life right now; your trials, your struggles, your broken-heart, your loneliness, your rejection. I love you so much that through Jesus I too experienced those afflictions. It hurts, I know. I weep when you weep. But in Me, your trials are temporary and provide the backdrop for something eternally greater. That is why I died and rose for you. To offer you My love so your afflictions will be just that—temporary. But I understand that you hurt now. And that’s why I am here for you now! For you to come to Me with your burdens. You see, it’s when you come to me and are in My Presence is when you can rest in My eternal love.
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” –2 Corinthians 4:16-18
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” –John 15:13
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” — John 3:16
