Leaning on Jesus

Leaning on Jesus

This year I had to learn to lean on Jesus. What does that mean? In my personal experience I must put my life in his hands. I must remain at the feet of Jesus. The voices I hear of the enemy attacking me from every direction of my entire day. The suffering I feel inside at times is unbearable, and I would never put this on anyone. My Jesus has been my peace in it all. I withstand and press on because of my precious Jesus. He has been so kind to me. Patient. Loving. Compassionate. His peace is so overwhelming, and a consuming fire. He consumes me with His love and sustains me. I shouldn’t even be here, but God. I shouldn’t even be at peace most days, but God. I should be curled up in a ball in the corner all the time, but God. So, leaning on Jesus is a daily thing. I’m not perfect. I messed up. I don’t wake up early most days to spend extra time with him. I may snap at my husband and my kids. I fall into sin like every human being on this earth. I fall weak into worry, shame, anxiety just like everyone else. However, I’m learning to run back to Jesus quicker than before because I know He will pick me up and put me back together. I know He will carry me and fight my battles. 

Leaning on Jesus in all things should be our life. Jesus is first always. Jesus is the way, the truth, and life. No one comes before our Lord and Savior. I pray we all run back to Jesus. He loves us. And it is just waiting for us to open the door. 

Matthew 11:28-30

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you a rest. 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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
