Journals of the Heart

By Angela Gill

The times when I really needed someone to ?tell my troubles to?, I always ended up listening to their troubles and comforting them. It just seemed at the time ?that?s just the way it is.? This happened when I was in the world and it happened when I came into God?s Kingdom. When in the world, I would go away thinking that nobody cared about me or my problems but when I came into the Kingdom, I had higher expectations. I thought NOW maybe somebody will care enough to listen, after all, they are commanded to love me! This is wisdom: our expectations many times cause us to be offended.

What I didn?t understand at the time was God was working in all of this, all the time. He was trying to get me to come to Him, to rely on Him, to make me understand I needed HIM. One day as I was meditating on the matter, I begin to think, when I need to be encouraged, I simply go to God. God does not feel sorry for me, He does not flatter me, He does not condemn me. He loves me, encourages me, He corrects me and He comforts me. This song came from that meditation:

I Go To Him

When I need a friend or I need a lover or when I feel just like a child without a mother?..I go to Him, I go to Him, I go to Jesus.

When my heart if full or just been emptied out or when I just want to share what my life?s about?.I go to Him, I go to Him, I go to Jesus.

For He?s the One who gave His life for me and He?s the One who really cares for me, and He?s the One who said: ?whosoever will, come unto Me, so my friend, won?t you come, come to Jesus

When you?re all alone, no one to call your own, or when you just need a shoulder to lean on?.come to Him, come to Him, come to Jesus.

There is no hurt He cannot heal, no empty heart He cannot fill, so where you are or where you?ve been,?come to Him

I break the lie that Satan told, that you?re too bad to come back home?.so now you?re free, your heart can see where you should be??

Jesus is calling??Come Unto Me?

For He?s the One who gave his life for you and He?s the One who really cares for you and He?s the One who said: ?Whosoever will, come unto Me?..so my friend, won?t you come, come to Jesus
