As long as Jesus is one of your many options, He is no option. As long as you can take Him or leave Him, you might as well leave Him for He will not be taken half-heartedly.
But when you mourn and get to the point of sorrow for your sins, and there is not other name you can call, then cast all your hurts and fears upon Jesus. He is a strong tower.
Understanding is a fountain of life for there is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. Therefore, when the storm clouds come, run to Jesus for He is always there for you.
Know you serve and awesome God and He is on His throne. God esteems the one who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at His word. Don't listen to those who exclude you because of His great name, just glorify the Lord and they will see your joy and will be put to shame.
Paul came to Jesus with much fear and trembling in weakness so that he could rest in God's power. For:
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived,
what God has prepared for those who love Him"---
But God will reveal it to you by His Spirit. Thus you can understand what He has freely given you.
"Wonderful merciful Savior; precious redeemer and friend, You offer hope when we have hopelessly lost our way. You are the one we pray to; You are the One we adore. You give us what our hearts always hunger for; grace, as we kneel before Your throne."
As the storm clouds rise may You be our only option. For Jesus you are:
"A Strong Tower"
And we can do all things because it is Jesus who gives us strength...
