RETURN TO JESUS AGAIN AND AGAIN

Isaiah 30:15 In returning and rest you will be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. 

I asked Jesus into my life when I was a little girl, went to church all my life but found I was only a 'Sunday' Christian. I had no personal relationship with the Lord Jesus and was backslidden, although I still believed in Jesus. Then after my first baby was born I had post natal depression which was really, really bad and in desperation one day I fell to my knees in tears, I was so messed up, and asked God to help me. 

I opened my bible and it fell open to this verse where I read God was inviting me to return to Him and rest in Him and be 'saved'. He was the only one who could deliver me, help me, rescue me and give me the victory, but I had to return to Him and rest in Him.

Well, I did just that and asked God to forgive me and for Jesus to come and rescue me. He told me to spend time with Him and read His word every day, so every morning I would get up early and did that. Over a period of the next year or so by listening to faith filled teaching, He gradually helped me to change my thinking which had been all wrong. He put me back together again, bit by bit, and restored my confidence which I'd totally lost. It was a slow process for me but by the grace of God He built me back up and gave me the victory and I give Him all the praise.

That was 43 years ago now so why am I telling you all that? Because sometimes we all need encouragement to return to Jesus again and again; to come to Him afresh when we've maybe grown cold or just plain weary, and rest in Him once more. (as we looked at in yesterday's blog)

If that's you today, please let this blog encourage you to 'return and rest in Him'. He's waiting with open arms of love for you, to rescue and deliver you too. 😊
