"But regarding Israel, God said, "All day long I opened my arms to them, but they kept disobeying me and arguing with me." Romans 10:21 NLT
What a picture. . .God opening His arms of love to the Israelites, and them arguing and disobeying. Aren't you glad we don't do that any more?
Right!
Jesus says, "Cast your burdens on me."
We say, "But Lord, I did give this problem to you. I just thought you might need my help so I took some of it back."
Jesus says, "Come unto me and I will give you rest."
We say, "But you don't understand, Lord. Between my job and looking after our children and volunteering at church . . . there is really no time right now to spend with you. I'm just too busy."
Jesus promises that we can do all things in His strength.
We say, "But Lord, this is so difficult. I just can't do it!"
Jesus said, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
We say, "Where are you Lord? Why is this happening to me?"
Jesus is reaching out to us with His arms of love. He will never leave us. He will never forsake us. And He will always love us. Instead of arguing, instead of insisting on doing things our way, let us trust Him . . . believe Him . . . and obey Him.

This is very good as it speaks to one of the truest issues of Christian growth and development. If more of us would take the advice of you and scripture much peace would be experienced.. Peace
