Rest for the Restless, April 2
For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning
and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be
your strength.
Isaiah 30:15
.
Jesus invites the restless, the murmuring, the oppressed and sorrowing,
to come to Him.
Jesus loves you and He wants your love. He would have you remember
that He gave His precious life that you should not perish; and He will be
unto you a present help in every time of need. Only look to Jesus and
tell Him every perplexity and trial.... Ask Him to help and strengthen and
bless you, and believe that He hears your prayers....
All heaven is looking upon you with deep interest. One soul for whom
Christ has died is worth more than the whole world. I wish every young
man and woman could appreciate the value of the human soul. If they
would give themselves to Jesus just as they are, though sinful and polluted,
He will accept them the very moment that they give themselves to Him,
and Jesus will put His Spirit in the humble seeker’s heart. Whosoever
cometh unto Him, He will in no wise cast out. You may love Jesus with
your whole heart, and He will never disappoint that love and confidence.
His words are life, comfort, and hope. Satan knows that all you have to
do is to look to Jesus, an uplifted Saviour. The wounded, bruised, stricken
soul will find in Jesus a balm for his wounds....
There will be peace, constant peace, flowing into the soul, for the rest
is found in perfect submission to Jesus Christ. Obedience to God’s will
finds the rest. The disciple that treads in the meek and lowly steps of the
Redeemer finds rest which the world cannot give, and the world cannot
take away. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on
thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Isaiah 26:3
.
Lowliness and meekness of mind, which ever characterized the life of
the divine Son of God, possessed by His true followers, bring contentment,
peace, and happiness, that elevate them above the slavery of artificial life.
