Meditations

Be My Patience. Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11.28. What a sweet and gentle word this is from Jesus Christ, who takes on Himself all the burdens, all the weariness, and all the sufferings of mankind. Dearest Saviour, do You truly want to carry all my troubles? Yes, You are inviting me to lay them on Your shoulders. All that I suffer is meant to find relief in You. So Lord, I join my cross to Yours. Carry it for me. I am falling down in exhaustion, just as You once were when another person was made to carry Your cross. Lord, I am walking after You toward Calvary, to be crucified there. And when it is Your will, I want to die in Your arms. But the weight of my cross is crushing me. I do not have enough patience. Be my patience Yourself. I beg of You to do as You have promised. I am coming to You. I cannot go on any more. And this is enough to be worthy of Your compassion and Your help.
