This is Jesus, speaking to the Jewish leader & Pharisees...
John 5;39 "You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! 40 Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.
When I read verse 40, I felt like Jesus was whispering "tell them to come to Me."
Over in Matthew, Jesus expresses the exquisite "come" by saying...
Matthew 11:28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
I don't know who all these are for, but I think Jesus is saying today...
"Come to Me if you've lost all hope.
"Come to Me if you're scared.
"Come to Me to me if you're bone weary tired.
"Come to Me if you're so depressed you can't see straight.
"Come to Me if you well, but want to become "well-er".
"Come to Me if you're sick.
"Come to Me to me if you're sick & tired.
"Come to Me if you're addicted to porn.
"Come to Me if you're addicted to sex.
"Come to Me if you're addicted to anything.
"Come to Me to me if you're a hypocrite.
"Come to Me if you're smug & self-important.
"Come to Me to me if you're holier-than-thou.
"Come to Me if you live with, struggle with, or embrace a same sex attraction.
"Come to Me if you gamble away all your money each week.
"Come to Me when you're sad.
"Come to Me when your happy.
"Come to Me to me when you marry.
"Come to Me when you bury someone you love.
"Come to Me with anything, anytime, anywhere, anyhow.
"But most important to remember - come to Me."
I guess that's the most important thing He's whispering to me today, to hold in my heart today, & to share with y'all...
just come to Him, & say,"here I am..."
