Tell it to Jesus

Have you ever had a problem and thought to yourself "I need to call (my mom, my sister, my best friend) and tell them about it. They will understand, they will help me decide, they will give me great advice. Isn't it frustrating when they are not available ? You think to yourself, "But I need to talk to SOMEONE who will understand, NOW!

Guess what ?
There is someone who is waiting to listen to you.
This someone loves you more than ANYONE has EVER loved you.
This is someone who loved you so much, He died on the cross for you.
And He is ALWAYS there. Waiting, listening, loving.

Not only ready to listen, but also ready to help you.
He always has the right advice.
He always answers our requests. (Sometimes YES, Sometimes NO, and Sometimes WAIT)
He knows what is BEST for us.

You guessed it ! Jesus !
He can be ANYTHING you need.
A friend, a mother, a dad, a listening ear, an adviser, and so much more.

And Jesus is ALWAYS there.
He is there, ready to hear from you 24/7, rain or shine, sunny or cloudy, midnight or 3:00 am, even on weekends and holidays.


There is a song in our Church Hymnal that says . . .

Are you weary, are you heavy hearted?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Are you grieving over joys departed?
Tell it to Jesus alone.


Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
He is a Friend that’s well known.
You’ve no other such a friend or brother,
Tell it to Jesus alone.

Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Have you sins that to men’s eyes are hidden?
Tell it to Jesus alone.


Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?
Tell it to Jesus alone.


Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
He is a Friend that’s well known.
You’ve no other such a friend or brother,
Tell it to Jesus alone.
