Cling to Jesus

Here's something, fellow believer, if you have ever fallen into distanced position with our Lord, keeping him at arms-length, as I think I have. This is from Spurgeon's "Around the Wicket Gate".

The child, in danger of the fire, just clings to the fireman, and trusts to him alone. She raises no question about the strength of his limbs to carry her, or the zeal of his heart to rescue her; but she clings. The heat is terrible, the smoke is blinding, but she clings; and her deliverer quickly bears her to safety. In the same childlike confidence cling to Jesus, who can and will bear you out of danger from the flames of sin.

Lately I've felt weak in this long sojourn of life and all the baggage that seems to burden me.

I hope this illustration helps you as it does me. I hope you to find the need to just cling to our Rescuer.
