“A bruised reed he will not break,
and smoking flax he will not quench;”
Isaiah 42:3
You may feel so far from the Lord that you would be ashamed to even approach him. You may feel that your sin is beyond forgiving. Perhaps you live in guilt. Perhaps you live in fear. Perhaps you live in despair.
If you are even reading this, just know that if you come to Jesus Christ as a bruised reed, he will not strike and break you. If your fire has gone out and you’re nothing more than smoking flax, he will not quench it.
vs 16:
“I will bring the blind by a way they did not know;
I will lead them in paths they have not known.
I will make darkness light before them,
and crooked places straight.
These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.”
Jesus said that he will receive ALL who come to him. When you come to him he becomes responsible for you. When you surrender to him, he will take over. You will find peace as you realize that everything is now under HIS control. There will be trials, and the enemy will try to stop you, but once you belong to Jesus Christ you no longer rely on yourself, but on him. He will turn every trial into a blessing. You have to experience this to believe it. Give him a chance to make himself known to you. Surrender to him now.
“…the one who comes to me
I WILL BY NO MEANS CAST OUT.”
John 6:37
