In John chapter 6, Jesus shares a message that a lot of the people listening, dont find easy to accept. They don’t agree with Jesus, and they definitely don’t understand what He is saying. And so they leave Him. Jesus knows what it feels like to be betrayed, to be left.
Turning to His other disciples, He asks, “You do not want to leave too, do you?”
And the words they say back to Him are so honest and filled with truth.
“Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
After coming to know Jesus as your personal savior, there is nothing else anywhere that compares!
Before Jesus I have tried so many other things to make me happy, and bring contentment and to fix things. And nothing else works, it is all sinking sand. Nothing except Jesus.
Jesus is the only way even when I don’t understand, even when He doesn’t answer as I would like Him to.
In the times when its hard to understand, its hard to trust, when things don’t go the way they’re supposed to, that’s when we need to cling to God the most.
Today I literally got down on my knees, lifted my hands and said, “Lord where else would I go? I belong to You and I cant do this life without you. But sometimes its so hard to see how You’re working everything together for good. But even when nothing in the entire world seems to make sense, God, You always makes sense.
Even though I may not understand what your doing right now, I remember what You have done. You have saved my life, redeemed me, pulled me up out of a pit, and traded my filth for a robe of Your righteousness.”
In the midst of my storms, I am going to submit to You and trust You because of who You are.
