No One But Jesus

            Through the years, one thing I have learnt about life is it is not always easy. There are days when we are on top of the world and there are days when we hit rock bottom. However, in tough times and in time of need, there is one person who will stick by you no matter what you have done, no matter what your skin colour is or your race or your personality. This person is always by your side and He will never leave you nor forsake you in whatever situation.

Perhaps, right now you are facing some difficult challenges and you feel so lonely. You feel that no one cares and no one is on your side. You feel lost and everyone is against you. But remember that you are in His palm, He has graven your image in His palm and you are the apple of His eye. He continually thinks about you. Do not expect people to be on your side to encourage you, to lift you up and to help you out. Instead, expect Jesus to do a miracle in your life and to carry you out of your troubles.

Jesus is the lifter up of our head and He will uphold us. Believe in His words. There may be people in your live who have walked away from you when you need them the most, but Jesus will never walk away from you. His mercies are new every morning. He is forever faithful and true.  

            No matter how much you have messed up in life, no matter how many times you have hurt Him and sinned, no matter how many times you have gone on the wrong path and made wrong decisions, He still loves you. He is still waiting to forgive you and accept you into His arms. All He wants is for us to repent and confess our faults, and He will wash away every sin, hurt, pain, guilt and condemnation.

            Some of you might have been taught that Jesus is angry with you because of your mistakes and He is against you. No, He is not angry at you, He doesn’t condemn you. He accepts you just the way you are and He is eager for you to run into His arm. Through life experience, I know He is good. I have seen Him lifting me up in hard times especially when there is no one around. He will do the same for you.

He will always give you another chance. He is a God of another chance. Remember, He doesn’t condemn you and He is not against you instead He is for you! His mercy is new every morning. Every morning is a new beginning and another new day of opportunity. Start the day expecting to receive from Him. J
