Are you in the tunnel of despair, loneliness, depression and heartache? Jesus not only is the light of our salvation; He is the light of every heartache and burden that we bear. Our loved ones and friends can encourage and comfort us, but only Jesus can put His light of compassion, tenderness and understanding in the dark, hidden parts of our hearts.
Jesus is more than our Saviour; He is a Friend beyond compare. He never leaves us, not even for a second. Many times we leave Him but He remains loyal to us. I’m reminded of the wife who said to her husband when they were in the car driving down the street “We don’t sit close to each other like we used to do”. The husband replied “I haven’t moved”. Jesus hasn’t moved and never will move.
I heard a pastor say in a sermon “We were in a cave and we literally could not see our hands in front of our face”. Sometimes the darkness of verbal and physical abuse blocks our vision of Jesus. It is then that we need to cry out to Jesus from the depths of our hearts for Him to rescue us. He is waiting for us to call Him.
Yes, many times we have tunnels of darkness, but sometimes we are guilty of causing tunnels of hurt in someone else. May God forgive us if we have contributed to the tunnels of darkness in our loved ones and friend’s hearts! If you are in the tunnel of sin today, let Jesus shine His light of salvation in your heart.
