{ Day 18 } Rommie’s Tricks for Scaring Away the Grief Monster – Come!
Scripture Meditation
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
The command “come” can save a dog’s life. Come can prevent him or her from getting into trouble. Rommie learned “come” and “come here.” Even though she knew them, she did not always obey.
Likewise “come” can save your life.
Come to Jesus and give him your burdens. Lay them at His cross.
Feel spiritually refreshed.
Feel your burdens ease as Jesus helps you carry them. The load is always lighter when 2 people carry it.
Come sit with God and read His word, you will find comfort in what He says.
Come galloping to Jesus (tennis ball optional).
Rommie always knew when she came, there was a treat waiting for her. There are plenty of treats waiting for you when you come lay your grief and other cares at the foot of the cross. The treats of:
- Peace in knowing Jesus is helping you carry your grief
- Joy in knowing His strength is the foundation for your joy.
- Relief in knowing you can rest easy because of your relationship with Jesus.
