In one single sentence, the answer to the question above is: Jesus
Christ is the Almighty God who incarnated as a Man on this earth more than 2000
years ago. He is the only true incarnation or embodiment of God. He is the
omnipotent (all-powerful) and omniscient (all-knowing) God who created this
entire universe with His Word. He is the One Who created you and me. Jesus, and
Jesus alone, is worthy to be worshipped because He is the only true God.
What is unique about Jesus, you might ask?
·
- The only One Who divided the history into BC and AD, which no historian can ever deny.
- The only One Who was born of a virgin through the Holy Spirit, which no medical science can ever explain.
- The only One Who taught: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6: 27, 28).
- The One Who touched and healed the ‘untouchable’ leper, opened the eyes of the blind, made the lame walk and the deaf hear, and raised the dead, and preached the good news to the poor (Matthew 11: 5).
- The One who walked on water, turned water into wine, fed five thousand with five loaves and two fish, calmed the storms in the sea with the Word of His mouth, cast out demons from people with a Word and healed all kinds of diseases (Matthew 4: 23; 8: 16).
- The One who washed His disciples’ feet, forgave the prostitutes and the worst of sinners, stood the side of the poor, the helpless, the hopeless, the worthless and the weak, and lashed out against the hollow, hypocritical religious leaders of the day which exploited people and made money in the name of God.
- The only One who said: “Which one of you convicts me of sin?” (John 8: 46).

- The only One who died for your and my sins and rose again from the dead and is alive forever to hear and answer our prayers, unlike all great men in the history who were born, did great things, died one day and are no more.
- The only One who has promised that He will come back one of these days to reward His disciples and to judge the world.
Jesus Cares For
You…
Have you often wondered why the people around you many a time
do not understand you as you want them to? Nobody seems to really care for our
problems or worries… Yes, even our own family members, sometimes…after all,
everyone has one’s own limitations.... Is there then anyone in this whole
universe who can perfectly understand us, who can truly sense the unspoken
yearnings and longings of our heart? ....
Yes, there is… That is
none other than the God Who created you and me. Lord Jesus Christ says to YOU: "Come to Me, all who are weary and
heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For
My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Matthew 11:28-30).
Are you weary and tired of your life? Are you heavily
burdened with all kinds of worries and guilt? Then it's YOU that the Lord is
calling... Come to Him... Jesus says: “the one who comes to Me I will certainly
not cast out” (John 6: 37).
Yes, draw near to Him,
and He will draw near to you (James 4: 8). He's waiting for you... He says: “Behold, I stand
at the door (of your heart) and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the
door, I will come in to him and will dine (have fellowship) with him, and he
with Me” (Rev 3:20).
"Is there anyone who really cares for
me?" you'd ask.
Lord Jesus answers you: “Cast all your
burdens unto Me for I care for you" (1Peter 5: 7).
He says: “Can a woman forget her nursing child and
have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will
not forget you. Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands...”
(Isaiah 49: 15,16).
"Behold, I
extend peace to you like a river ... and you will be nursed, you will be
carried on the hip and fondled on the knees. As one whom his mother comforts,
so I will comfort you...” (Isaiah 66:12,13).
“How can I give
you up? My heart is turned over within Me. All My compassions are kindled”
(Hosea 11:8).
“I have loved you
with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness”
(Jeremiah 31: 3).
“He who touches
you, touches the apple of My eye” (Zechariah 2: 8).
“…you are precious and honoured in My sight, and I love you…”
(Isaiah 43:4).
"I will not
leave you as orphans; I will come to you” (John 14: 18).
“For I know the plans that I have for you, plans for welfare
and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29: 11).
Just tell the beloved
Lord whatever your problems are… He is there to listen to your every word with
utmost attention throughout.
Jesus says: “If you confess your
sins, I am faithful and righteous to forgive you your sins and to cleanse you
from all unrighteousness” (1John 1:9).
"Though your
sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson,
they will be like wool” (Isaiah 1: 18).
"For I will
be merciful to your iniquities, and I will remember your sins no more"
(Hebrews 8: 12).
“I will cast all your sins into the depths of the sea” (Micah
7: 18, 19).
“I will sprinkle
clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your
filthiness and from all your idols.
Moreover, I will
give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the
heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My
statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances” (Ezekiel 36: 25-
27).
“You are altogether beautiful...there is no blemish in you”
(Song of Songs 4: 7).
"I rejoice
over you with shouts of joy, as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride” (Zephaniah

things (including your failures) to work together for your good, to make you
more like Me” (Romans 8: 28, 29).

anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Surely I
will help you. Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah

“You can do ALL
things through Me Who strengthens you” (Philippians 4: 13).
“And I will
supply ALL your needs according to My riches in glory” (Philippians 4: 19).
You might ask: “If Jesus is so powerful, yet loving, can He
help me NOW practically?”
Of course, He can. This Jesus is calling YOU too… His eyes
full of love and compassion are even now gazing at you… All you need to do is
respond to His love in simple, childlike faith. That is, just like a little
child runs to his father or mother, you can come to the Lord Jesus in faith,
and give yourself to Him completely.
If you believe that
this Lord Jesus alone is able to take away all your sins, burdens and
emptiness, then you can open your heart and say this prayer right now to Jesus:
“My
loving Lord Jesus, I am a wretched sinner. I deserve the punishment of hell
only. But I thank You for taking MY punishment and dying for MY sins, and
rising from the dead to give ME eternal life!
I want to turn away from ALL my sins. I am really sorry for grieving
Your loving heart. Cleanse my sins with Your blood that was shed on the Cross.
I surrender my whole life to You. Please come into my heart right now. Fill me,
Jesus, with Your love, joy and peace! Thank You for answering my prayer.”
Yes, continue speaking to the Lord everything you want to
tell Him. This is what is called true prayer! It is just a heartfelt conversation
with Jesus! And you can sense Him speaking to your heart as you meditate the
Word of God, the Bible daily. Nurture this love relationship by spending
quality time with Him all alone, and obeying Him daily, thereby bringing
delight to His heart.
Forgive everyone, and ask forgiveness from all you have hurt.
Give back what you have wrongfully taken. Pay back your debts as soon as you
can. And you will have a crystal clear conscience before God. Ask the Lord to
fill you again and again everyday with His love, joy and peace through the Holy Spirit. Then you can also overcome temptations with the mighty power of the Holy Spirit.
Even if you fall into any sin, run to Jesus immediately. He
will also run to embrace you into His loving arms. He will again cleanse you
from your sins. He can gradually lead you
to a higher life where you do not fall into any sin. Seek for fellowship with other like-minded people who will
really encourage you to love and obey the Lord Jesus all the more fervently. Be
bold enough to tell about the Lord Jesus to others because they also need the
joy and peace that you experience.
Yes, let us live for Jesus with our hearts filled with His
love, leaving behind all discouragement and emptiness forever! Please feel free
to write to me (sandeeppsychiatry@gmail.com) for any further help. May the Lord bless you richly!
