Cry Out! 4-29-14
When life comes crashing down, in, and around us, what's the best reaction to have? What are the crucial steps taken to construct our lives back to where it was?
Who among us has not experienced the desperation that comes from being betrayed and abandoned. Most of us have expressed the statement, 'Who really cares for me? Everyone belong to a 'we' except me.' I hear this amongst prisoners very often. The feeling of being left out, inadequate, and desterted runs rampart through these parts.
It is during these times that the words Jesus spoke in (Matthew 11:28-30) come to my intellectual faculties... "28 Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give your rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
All of us have been overwhelmed when the treasures of life are snatched from our hands unexpectedly. Handel, the master musician lost his health. Soon after, his right side became paralysed and then his finances depleted. He was so discouraged that he wanted to give up on life. But he cried to God and from his hopeless condition he penned 'The Messiah' which ends with the 'Hallelujah' chrous.
Life's pitfalls can lower us, limit us, and never lift us but God will make us the head and not the tail; all we have to do is cry out.
