Run to Him

Throughout my life whenever my heart was broken or I was upset about something, my first response was to run away.

Sometimes I would go outside and run around the block and keep running till I felt somewhat better. But when that didn’t work I would run to my friends for help, but each time I did, I wasn’t any further ahead.

However I learned that I couldn’t run away from my problems but I could run to the Lord and He would help me. In this past week I was faced with a difficult situation. My heart was hurting and I knew I couldn’t handle it on my own, so I opened my bible and

I discovered a powerful verse in Proverbs 18:10

The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe. In that moment I closed my eyes and visualized me running to Jesus. I saw Him standing in the distance with open arms and I ran into them and He held me close. I knew I was safe and as I poured out my heart to Him, I felt such peace and He said, “Trust Me, through it all. I will make a way.”

He desires for us to run to Him and trust in Him.

In Proverbs 3:5,6 it says, Trust in Him with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all of your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

In other words Trust Him with all your heart, don’t try to understand all that is happening and don’t try to figure it out on your own, but give it all to Him and He will work it out and make a way for you.

I am so grateful to God because He replaced my heavy burden with His peace. He directed my every step and as I followed His leading, I discovered that the major problem I had, wasn’t as bad as I thought and He worked it out for me. There are still some things I have to deal with in order for it all to be resolved but you know what? I now have peace and I know that the Lord is going to continue to help me as I trust Him.

Is there something in your life that is troubling you and weighing you down ?

Run to Him and hold on to Him and He won’t let you go. He loves you more than you know and He wants to help you.

I believe what He has done for me He can do for you!

Running to Him brings all kinds of benefits and blessings too.

I’ve recorded some, but there is still so much more to be discovered in His Word.

In Matthew 11:28

Jesus said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest.”

In 1 Peter 5:7 it says, Give all your worries and cares to Him, because He cares about you.

In Psalms 34:8 it says, Taste and see that the Lord is good and blessed are you when you take refuge in Him. Once you get a taste of His word, His presence, His joy, His glory and grace, you will only have an appetite for more…

In Psalms 147:3 it says, He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.

As I shared my thoughts and experience with you, I pray that it will encourage you and cause your heart to run to Him.

God bless you as you do…
