Life tends to get away from most of us. Whenever I hear people say a
phrase like this one I tend to picture someone buying a huge Mastiff dog
and trying to take this big pooch on a walk. I can just see in my head
this poor someone being dragged by the horse-sized dog until they
finally let go: hence life has "gotten away". Its a really comical and
sad picture to me. Comical because when I was little that always
happened to me with my sister's dog; a Great Pyrenees, and sad because I
believe they (and me) could have had some help if they had asked for
it. In my opinion we can all choose to have some help with our life. In
the King James version of The Bible, Jesus Christ tells us this: "Come
unto me, all ye that labour 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 unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and
my burden is light." -Matthew 11:28-30.
Well I think almost
everyone falls under the category of "heavy laden". We all have worries,
concerns, troubles, trails: its a part of the "life" that sometimes
gets away. But for me and for anyone who wants Him to, Jesus Christ can
help us. He has already helped us through The Atonement He can strengthen
us to get through all the burdens of life.
If you need help
ask God. Simple as that! James 1:5. "If any of you lack wisdom let him
ask of God that giveth to men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall
be given him." God loves us and wants to help us. So don't let life get
away or get in the way of His pure love. Seek after it, and He will be
there for you.
WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!
