This is the photo of Jesus that I grew up seeing in my church and on people's walls in their homes. I remember staring at it feeling comforted as I listened to the stories of how much Jesus loves us all. It still brings me comfort today. If you don't know Him personally, He is longing to be your friend. Just tell Jesus that you're sorry for your sins and ask Him to cover them all with His shed blood on the cross. Invite Jesus into your life and He will be your very best friend as He is mine and countless other folks around the world. Just come to Jesus.
Come To Jesus
Isn’t there more to life?
Is this all there is?
Imprisoned by our need for control,
trapped by insatiable desires
for worldly pleasures,
we are oppressed by our desperate hunger
for approval and love
from everyone
except the One who loves us most.
Straining, fighting to release
a familiar yet unknown burden,
we struggle to flee the tension, the stress
from the inner knowing
that our lives are incomplete
without Him who created us.
Parched, thirsting for more, more, more
of something we can’t even define,
racing in the wrong direction,
we search everywhere
except the one place
where what we really want
can actually be found.
Turn around.
Come to Jesus.
He is hope;
He is joy;
He is freedom,
direction, and purpose.
Come to Jesus.
Let Him carry your burdens.
Surrender your pain to His love.
Turn from darkness to the Son,
to the beacon Who will always light your way.
Come to Jesus.
He is waiting...
waiting to lead you home.
