“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.' ~ Jesus
I cannot sleep,
My mind and heart are racing;
My body cannot rest.
The accusing voice asks -
"When did you become who you are today...
Someone other than who you were meant to be?"
I cover my ears,
And close my eyes;
But there is no peace for me...
A mocking voice shouts -
"You are worthless!
You are nothing!
You are rejected!
You do not matter!
You are invisible!"
Out of the room I run,
Down the stairs and
Out the door,
Into the cool, night air;
And under the moon and stars
I cry.....
But the still, small voice whispers -
"You are precious and honored in My sight.
You are Mine.
You are loved.
You are the apple of My eye.
NO ONE can take you from My hand,
On which your name is engraved."
My Father's voice comforts,
And resonates in my soul;
It is His lullaby
To His weary, burdened,
Restless child.
Jesus -- such a beautiful, glorious, special Name. In Hebrew, His Name is Yeshua, which means 'salvation.' In both the Book of Acts and in Romans, it is written: 'Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.' Paul wrote in Philippians that Jesus' Name 'is above every name,' and 'that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth...' And Jesus Himself told His disciples, 'And I will do whatever you ask in My Name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask Me for anything in My Name and I will do it.' (John 14:13-14).
The Name of Jesus -- it is great, it is wonderful, it is awesome. It should be so very precious to us, and never used lightly or in anger or frustration. Call to Him, cry out to Him, pour out your heart to Him.
Worship Him.
"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on His head are many crowns. He has a name written on Him that no one knows but He Himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is the Word of God. On His robe and on His thigh He has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:11-13;16, NIV)
