How appropriate that this verse would be my verse of today…since it was one of my Mom’s favorite verses. Believe in God…for God is love.
But anyone who does not love does
not know God, for God is love. ... We know how much God loves us, and we
have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love
live in God, and God lives in them. - 1 John 4:8, 16 NLT
So don’t fret and worry…God loves you. Don’t be burdened with the cares
of the world…God loves you. My Mom was a good example of one knew that God
loved her and cared about what she cared about. Once when Jesus spoke to a
crowd of people, He said…"Come to
me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at
heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and
the burden I give you is light." Matthew 11:28-30 NLT. I recently
experienced having someone come alongside of me—sharing my burden. A dear lady,
Loretta, took me back and forth to the hospital where my husband was in
Portugal and along the way we shared stories of how the Lord has been working
in our lives. To me that was like having Jesus Himself share my burden. How do
you give your cares and your worries to Jesus? Pray…and let go of them or at
least let Him come alongside of you and share your burden. He may be there in
the form of one of His devoted servants.
Prayer~ Jesus, I give You my worries of today…my decisions as to what to
do tomorrow. Thank You for caring enough about me to come alongside of me and
help me think things out rationally and logically. I know I can’t do everything
alone.
Happy Mother’s Day!
