That Is Good!

My hero Robert Murray M'Cheyne said, "Oh, my friends, there must be a personal sitting down under the shadow of Christ if you would be saved!  Christ is the bush that has been burned, yet not consumed.  Oh, it is a safe place for a hell-deserving sinner to rest!"  Are you kidding me?  The two words that are consuming my life right now are the words "safe place."  What is your safe place?  Let me just tell you that anything short of Jesus as your safe place is not SAFE.

I am doing some major deep counseling in my life right now and the counselor is the one who presented me with the concept of safe place.  As a kid, going thru difficult moments, I learned to create a safe place to go and sadly that is what I still do today...i go to a place instead of a PERSON.  I go to "something" instead of Jesus.  And when I run toward something or somewhere instead of to Jesus, I am dissatisfied, angry, and exhausted.  This morning I ran to Jesus and I found Him...He was waiting for me and it was very good.  It was peaceful, deep, and very satisfying.  Oh my friends, run to Jesus.  Take Him up on the invitation to come to Him...if you are tired and weary...come to Jesus.  He is gentle.  He is humble in heart.  And you will find rest.  Come to Jesus.

And Rest In Him!!!  Now that is good!
