                      Come Unto Me in Your Hour of Need!


For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Mt 11:30

"Come to Me all who are heavy laden and in need of rest. I welcome you to
sit at My feet and worship Me. I so miss My time with you and the moments
when we both wept together over the burden of prayer that you carried. Yet,
as you know, I was there with you until release had come and My gentle touch
dried your tears and your joy returned as a bright morning sunrise.

"Come to Me all who have been hurt and wounded for your pain is My pain and
your tears are My tears. Why haven't you come sooner as I was eagerly
awaiting your arrival? I am so grieved when you grieve alone because I so
desperately want to be with you through your times of pain so that I might
heal you as I've done so many times before.

"Come to Me all who have been offended, all who have been shorn, all who
have been taken advantage of and then cast aside as a old, dirty rag. For I
relate to your rejection and your disappointment, for I also have been
there. Yet, I learned how to both forgive and to love so that My heart would
not be hardened, so instead I can offer to you the healing that comes
through the power of forgiveness.

"Come to Me all who have been lied to, deceived and betrayed. Oh, I know
this to be the most painful of hurts, for I also was lied to by one of My
very own. One who I walked with, one that I entrusted My earthly treasure,
one that I supped with and yet betrayed me. Turn them over to Me that I may
extend to them My mercy and release you from their grasp. My mercy extends
to all but to those who touches even the least of mine shall first be shown
mercy before judgment comes upon them for I am their only way of escape.

"Come to Me all who have taken on too heavy a burden and yoke yourself with
Me. For then your yoke becomes our yoke and your burdens become our burdens.
How can two or more walk together unless they are in agreement? Cast all of
your cares upon Me for I care for you and I will watch over you. I will show
you My heart and we will become one as My Father and I are one. I love you
so much and I want to be in your thoughts, in your ways, in your heart and
in everything you do because you are My friend and I love you."
