The Jungle

The Jungle

There are many of us who have been lost in darkness at some point in our lives. Maybe you are one of those people and you have managed to find your way out, or maybe you are still trying to find your way. Those of us that have found our way out can help those that are still stuck!

Sometimes when we are battling the darkness of our life, it may seem like we are stuck in a jungle. We look around and we can’t see any way out. There are trees and vines all around and we are afraid to even take a step for fear that we will get tangled up and fall – and who knows what kinds of horrible creatures are hiding under the ground cover! You may be asking yourself how you will ever get out of this mess. Luckily, the Lord can make that possible. He sees that you are struggling and He wants to help. Even when you haven’t asked Him to, He is sending His people your way. There are others who have been in the jungle and found their way out. They hold the tools to help get you out of there! He has equipped them with the machete it will take to clear the path for you because they have been where you are. They will help you find your way to the Lord and out of this scary jungle. 

The Lord will give you the strength to fight your way out if you turn to Him. He wants to forgive you for the sins that have you trapped if you let Him. Even though things seem really dark and scary in the jungle, there is a beautiful Son wanting to shine His light on your life. With Him beside you, the scary things don’t seem so scary after all.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” 

Matthew 11:28-30
