I read today’s message in "Jesus Calling" dated for January 8th even though it was October 29th.
“Softly I announce My Presence. Shimmering hues of radiance tap gently at your consciousness, seeking entrance. Though I have all Power in heaven and earth, I am infinitely tender with you. The weaker you are, the more gently I approach you. Let your weakness be a door to My Presence. Whenever you feel inadequate, remember that I am your ever-present Help.
“Hope in me and you will be protected from depression and self-pity. Hope is like a golden cord connecting you to heaven. The more you cling to this cord, the more I bear the weight of your burdens; thus, you are lightened. Heaviness is not of My kingdom. Cling to hope and My rays of LIght will reach you through the darkness.”
I was, yet again, amazed. I felt weak. I felt the depression trying to press in. felt the heaviness. He was there. He was with me. By placing all my hope in Him, I would be okay. I gave Him all my burdens, all my weariness, all my thoughts. He replaced them with joy, rest, and thankfulness. I felt alone and broken on that Monday morning. I felt like I needed some guidance to help me through this, but at the time, the best I could do was to write it on the page, remove it from my head, give it to God and let go.
