A One On One Relationship

“Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11: 28-30)
Over thirty years ago, the Rolling Stones sang about it. They’re a lot older now, yet they’re still rocking and rolling and singing: “I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried, but I can’t get no satisfaction.” That line in the Rolling Stones song seems to be the common experience of people everywhere today. I’m referring to those who have tried almost everything – possessions, pleasures, relationships, religions – in search of happiness and fulfillment, but their search has been meaningless. More people than you know, even some Christians, are empty because they haven’t found their fulfillment in the person of Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the only one who can quench the thirst of the human heart. You were made by God – specifically for Him. Augustine, the great theologian of yesteryear, said, “Our hearts are restless, oh God, and we will not find rest…..we will not be satisfied until we find our rest in Thee.” Today, I want us to go one on one with Jesus Christ, person to person, heart to heart and life to life. In the accounts of the Scripture when Jesus spoke to the multitudes, He had an incredible way of communicating and delivering the Word of God whether it was standing in a boat, on a hillside or in someone’s home. Masses of people would come to follow Christ. He would bring them up close to Himself even though there were many of them. He didn’t just speak to the multitudes, but He also spoke to individuals. Some of the most powerful messages that our Lord ever gave were delivered one–on-one!
Every time we speak the Word of God, there are individuals whom God has singled out to hear it and believe it. It very well could be that you reading this article today is actually a divine appointment between you and God, where He is singling you out so He can speak directly to your heart. I believe the Lord is here right now, ready to meet you at the point of your need and stands ready to change your life. Are you ready to be changed? May the Lord truly bless you and yours today!
