As long as Jesus is one of many options, he is no option.
As long as you can carry your burdens alone, you don’t need a burden bearer. As long as your situation brings you no grief, you will receive no comfort. And as long as you can take him or leave him, you might as well leave him, because he won’t be taken half-heartedly.
But when you mourn, when you get to the point of sorrow for your sins, when you admit that you have no other option but to case all your cares on him, and when there is truly no other name that you can call, then cast all your cares on him, for he is waiting in the midst of the storm.
Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
In the midst of every storm, God is waiting to carry us through. We must look for him there, trust him and follow him to safe harbor. At every stage God will comfort us and provide for us if we let him.
Trusting him,
Z gardener
