Cling To Jesus

When you have a serious decision to make and aren’t sure which option to choose, cling to Jesus. When you read your Bible every day, but don’t seem to get anything out of it at all, cling to Jesus. When your bills are coming in faster than your paychecks do, cling to Jesus. When your children make decisions that contradict everything you’ve taught them their whole lives, cling to Jesus. When the doctor gives the diagnosis you most feared to hear, cling to Jesus. When you aren’t sure which church is teaching truth and which is teaching error, cling to Jesus. When grace is a subject you believe, but wonder how to move it from your head to your experience, cling to Jesus. When your heart has grown cold and you haven’t felt God’s presence in a very long time, cling to Jesus. When a friend betrays you in a way you never would have expected, cling to Jesus.

Cling to Jesus. He will guide you through His Spirit. He will nurture you by His love. He will provide for you through His generosity. He will comfort you through His tender compassion. He will heal you by His stripes. He will reveal truth to you through His Word. He will transform you by His power. He will touch you by His presence. He will sustain you by His faithfulness.

Cling to Jesus. He holds you in His arms at this very moment and will never let you go. You have been bought with a price and will display the glory of His grace throughout eternity. Cling to Jesus and know this for sure – He will eternally cling to you.

  2. Thanks Steve for the reminder. So many times when things do not seem to be going our way, we look to how we can solve the issue by our self. HE is our all and how I love being held by Him.

  3. Thank you Steve. This was so timely for me. I;m discovering (all over again) how Jesus is my All in All, my One Thing, my Life. I cling to him for dear life.

  4. This has to be one of the best blogs so far you have ever written. The best statement i like is "when you aren't sure which church is teaching truth and which is tearching error, cling to Jesus". I am struggling with this particular issue lately. This reminds me not to struggle but to cling to Jesus. Thank you Steve.
