Let our Savior, Save you.
"He is waiting for you with open arms, and hands that were pierced for your sake."
We need to let our Savior, save us. So often we run away from God, we turn our backs to Him. Why do we do such a thing? Jesus our Savior, wants to save us. Our Savior wants to heal us; Jesus The Prince of Peace, wants to give us peace. Why do we turn away from the free gift that Jesus has to offer? He so desperately wants make us new, so why do we run from Him?
So often we think we can do life on our own, the truth is…we can’t. Life without Jesus is a complete and utter mess. Saint Poryphrios says “When people are empty of Christ, a thousand and one other things come and fill them up : jealousies, hatreds, boredom, melancholy, resentment, a worldly outlook, worldly pleasures. Try to fill your soul with Christ so that it’s not empty.”
Life without Jesus is empty, and meaningless. We were each created by God, to love God. If we don’t love God, we are missing the sole purpose of why we were created, and we will be left unfulfilled. How can we expect to properly love others if we first don’t love God? If we don’t love, Love Himself, how can we love others, and love ourselves?
You see it’s simple. Know Jesus, know peace. No Jesus, no peace. It’s time to stop running from Jesus, and let our Savior do what He does best. Save us, heal us, redeem us, free us. With Christ, life is full, without Him, life is empty. Depression, anxiety, fear, all these negative things plague us, when we do not have Jesus. Jesus doesn’t want us living in a state of constant worry and torment. He is waiting for each one of us, to heal us, and give us peace. Stop running from Jesus, and surrender to Him. Answer His call. He is waiting for you with open arms, and hands that were pierced for your sake.
