Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden’s lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don’t be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall…so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can’t contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory’s side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live![i]

I pray that today you will give Jesus all the burdens. All the sin. All the fear. All the anxious thoughts. All the hurt feelings. All the bitterness. All the pain. All the disappointments.

What a Redeemer we have. One who was willing to carry all that we are burdened with to the cross. What comfort we find in Jesus’ words. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 – NIV)

Peter knew of such weariness and burden. But when he understood Jesus’ words and laid them at the feet of his Savior, he in turn was able to tell us how to rid our lives of these burdens. “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7 – NIV)

And when we’re able to release all of this to Jesus, we are then able to give Him all the praise He deserves. Peter also knew how to praise Jesus. Just take a look at some of Peter’s comments.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice.” (1 Peter 1:3-6a – NIV)

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18b – NIV)

Where will you meet Jesus today? In your pain, sorrow, or fear? Or will you meet Jesus in your praise? Wherever you meet Him, He will be there. He is waiting. Love and grace will meet you where you are. Isn’t it time for you to come to Jesus?

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Donna
