Jesus Cream

Have you ever had that icky, heavy feeling in your heart?
Like if someone touched your chest, it would cave in?
It’s completely miserable.
You feel like if your blood pressure goes up just a little bit, your heart might just shatter.
Or if you take in too deep of a breath, your heart might get sucked into your stomach.
Like there's a scar right on the front of your heart that will never disappear.
But that’s not true.
You know those scar creams they advertise on TV?
That’s what Jesus is to us.
You just have to lather Him on real thick.
Over every scar we have.
And the directions to scar creams are always the same: Apply daily.
That’s what we need to do.
Keep filling our lives every day with Jesus.
Keep lathering Him on over and over.
A steady diet of the Lord and the scar will begin to disappear.
And it will never disappear completely.
There will always be a little hint that it was once there.
But that is how we learn from our mistakes.
How we learn the will of God.
It’s not always easy.
It hurts and it is sometimes is really deep.
But just keep lathering on some Jesus.
He never fails to mend.
I like to think the label on Jesus Cream would never say "Results may vary.”
Because the Lord ALWAYS will deliver.
And that’s an advertisement we can trust in.
