I trust you will be blessed and i hope i will get some feed back from you.
Often times people are in a situation where they wish someone would just reach down and rescue them.
They stop and look at their lives and they wonder, "How in the world did I get into all of this?"
They want a change or they just want to get away from a particular moment,
a particular situation.
They feel trapped and can't see a way out.
This is what eventually happens in life when we try to live life without Jesus.
We keep trying different things so that we will feel some kind of fulfillment within and then we feel like we are surrounded by every struggle possible.
It happens to people who try to find happiness within relationships,
and yet they can never find that one person who makes them feel fulfilled.
It happens to people who try alcohol, drugs, having a once off affair or even just sharing a kiss, thinking that if they put something inside of them it will change how they feel.
It can even happen for a moment where we go somewhere or do something and we know right away
that we are in the wrong place, with the wrong people, doing the wrong thing.
But then something happens. Some people say that they "hit rock bottom".
Others realized their lives were "out of control". It could even be as simple as
"I don't want to be here" or "I know I should be somewhere else".
They just want to be rescued from their own lives.
JESUS TO THE RESCUE!!!
Somewhere in each of our lives we need to come to a realization that we need to be rescued,
we need to be saved.
Jesus said in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."
People feel lost.
They feel like there is little hope.
So Jesus reaches down to rescue them and they fight Him off, looking for other answers.
Jesus is the only answer.
He is the only way that we will ever feel like we are on the right track in our lives.
With Jesus, we are never alone.
With Jesus, we know the way out.
With Jesus, we know how to change and what needs to change so that we can be happy.
I have often talked to people who aren't ready to change their lives for Jesus because of what they will have
to "give up".
The strange thing is that the things they will have to give up are usually the things that are making them miserable.
In John 10:10 Jesus says, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
Life with Jesus is a wonderful life.
It is true that we will still have trials and struggles, but that will happen with or without Jesus.
At least when we are going through the trials and struggles with Jesus,
we know we are not alone and we know that in the end it will be worth the fight.
Life with Jesus is life to the full! Paul describes the struggle we all have in Romans 7:15-17: "I do not understand what I do.
For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me."
We have all said it: "I don't know how I got into this mess and I sure don't know how I'm going to get out!"
Later he describes that moment when we give up and give in to Jesus:
"What a wretched man I am!
Who will rescue me from this body of death?
Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:24-25)
The assurance for the Christians is found in the words to the church in Colosse in Colossians 1:13-14,
"For (God) has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves,
in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins."
Not only are we rescued from those moments of darkness but from a life of darkness.
But the hope is not for us alone.
It is for everyone who is willing to turn from the darkness and follow Jesus.
There is a reason why Jesus is called the "Savior".
If you are feeling like you are trapped in the darkness and you want to be rescued,
He wants to help.
I can share with you how Jesus rescued me and wants to rescue you.
I love you so much and i want you to be rescued.
Love
