Slipping into prayer is like slipping beneath a warm blanket in the winter time or like soaking tired muscles in a bath of Epsom salt. Jesus is a pool of love just waiting for me to dive in. I dive in with my problems and let Him wash them away. There are times when I get so deep, I don’t have to say anything. I just let Jesus move and speak His purpose to me. He restores the strength that life has drained from me. He repairs my broken heart so that I can stand to have it broken again. He heals my mind that is weary from the pressure of this world. He takes my burden and gives me His. His burden is light and full of peace for my soul.

His burden is this; Jesus loves people. He loves people who don’t love Him back. He loves people who insult Him and misuse His name. He loves people who used to walk with Him, but who now go in a different direction. He loves people who have never known Him. He loves people who will never know Him. He loves the people who have hurt my feelings. He loves the people whose feelings I have hurt. Jesus loves people I have never met. The scope of His love is beyond my understanding. I don’t understand how Jesus could love so many people so perfectly and at the same time. All He wants me to do is to tell the ones within my reach about his love. Well, here goes… JESUS LOVES YOU.  No matter where you are or how many times you have failed. There is a place for you in Him. A place that is beyond anything you have experienced. If you believe in Heaven, you’ll want to know Jesus because He is heaven. I feel Heaven every time I close my eyes and say His name. Life is not easy, let Jesus carry your load. He is so much stronger than we are.
