Our Confidant

Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. – Psalm 62:8

“Sing a hymn to Jesus, when thy heart is faint;
Tell it all to Jesus, comfort or complaint.”

Jesus knows all about us, but it is a great relief to pour out our hearts before Him. When John the Baptist’s broken-hearted disciples saw their leader beheaded, “they took up the body, and went and told Jesus.” They could not have done better. In all trouble send a message to Jesus, and do not keep your misery to yourself. In His case there is no need of reserve, there is no fear of His treating you with cold pride, or heartless indifference, or cruel treachery. He is a confidant who never can betray us, a friend who never will refuse us.

There is this fair hope about telling Jesus, that He is sure to support us under it. If you go to Jesus, and ask, “Most gracious Lord, why am I sick? I thought I was useful while in health, and now I can do nothing; why is this?” He may be pleased to show you why, or, if not, He will make you willing to bear His will with patience without knowing why. He can bring His truth to your mind to cheer you, or strengthen your heart by His presence, or send you unexpected comforts, and give you to glory in your afflictions. “Ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon
