The Desire of Ages / Re: The Desire of Ages--34--The Invitation
« Last post by Richard Myers on Today at 02:10:39 AM »
Amen my dear brothers!! If we keep our eyes upon Jesus, we have precious promises!

Those who take Christ at His word, and surrender their souls to His keeping, their lives to His ordering, will find peace and quietude. Nothing of the world can make them sad when Jesus makes them glad by His presence. In perfect acquiescence there is perfect rest. The Lord says, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee." Isaiah 26:3. Our lives may seem a tangle; but as we commit ourselves to the wise Master Worker, He will bring out the pattern of life and character that will be to His own glory. And that character which expresses the glory--character--of Christ will be received into the Paradise of God. A renovated race shall walk with Him in white, for they are worthy.

"He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. He is watching over you, trembling child of God. Are you tempted? He will deliver. Are you weak? He will strengthen. Are you ignorant? He will enlighten. Are you wounded? He will heal."

"The Lord "telleth the number of the stars;" and yet "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Psalm 147:4, 3".

"Come unto Me," is His invitation. Whatever your anxieties and trials, spread out your case before the Lord. Your spirit will be braced for endurance. The way will be opened for you to disentangle yourself from embarrassment and difficulty."

"The weaker and more helpless you know yourself to be, the stronger will you become in His strength. The heavier your burdens, the more blessed the rest in casting them upon the Burden Bearer." "The rest that Christ offers depends upon conditions, but these conditions are plainly specified." "

They are those with which all can comply. He tells us just how His rest is to be found."

Come unto Me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.


Are "WE" willing to surrender ALL TO JESUS ???

=====================
1
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
 
I surrender all,
  I surrender all.
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
    I surrender all.
2
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
3
All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
4
All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
5
All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!

Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Amen!  No matter how difficult is the family situation, we can do as did Christ in revealing grace to those who are not waling in the light which is brightly shining.

     Those who are called to suffer for Christ's sake, who have to endure misapprehension and distrust, even in their own home, may find comfort in the thought that Jesus has endured the same. He is moved with compassion for them. He bids them find companionship in Him, and relief where He found it, in communion with the Father.
     Those who accept Christ as their personal Saviour are not left as orphans, to bear the trials of life alone. He receives them as members of the heavenly family; He bids them call His Father their Father. They are His "little ones," dear to the heart of God, bound to Him by the most tender and abiding ties. He has toward them an exceeding tenderness, as far surpassing what our father or mother has felt toward us in our helplessness as the divine is above the human.

  "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest."
     These words of comfort were spoken to the multitude that followed Jesus. The Saviour had said that only through Himself could men receive a knowledge of God. He had spoken of His disciples as the ones to whom a knowledge of heavenly things had been given. But He left none to feel themselves shut out from His care and love. All who labor and are heavy-laden may come unto Him.


We have 2 choices. We can keep the current burdens that we carry or we can exchange them for His burdens. His yoke is easy and light but there is still a burden to carry. In the backpacking world it is well known that your pack (burden) is as heavy as your fears. Christ wants to relieve us of our fears and lighten our load. The narrow and steep path of righteousness requires a custom fitted pack hand made by Christ just for you. So you may keep your pack full of fears or you can accept one from Christ minus the fears and worries and only filled with what is  absolutely necessary for you to finish the good fight.

1
The Lord knows all that frustrates thee;
Your every weakness, He can see.
When there is no one you can tell,
This is His word: I know it well.
2
He knows what trials you can face;
He knows how much you need His grace;
He foreknew all that happens here;
He is your Lord; why doubt or fear?
3
Though many mock and ridicule,
Loved ones forsake, friends misconstrue,
All of these things, the Savior knows,
So be at peace, in calm repose.
4
Cast all your burdens on the Lord;
All of your sighs on Him outpour.
His heart of love your sorrow knows;
He cares for you and grace bestows.
5
Since the Lord knows, my heart’s at peace!
Since the Lord knows, my joy’s complete!
Since the Lord knows, my rescue’s sure!
Since the Lord knows, I am secure.

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook a large area of Northern California on Thursday, knocking items off grocery store shelves, sending children scrambling under desks and prompting a brief tsunami warning for 5.3 million people along the U.S. West Coast.

It was felt as far south as San Francisco, some 270 miles (435 km) away, where residents described a rolling motion for several seconds. It was followed by multiple smaller aftershocks
