Are you feeling trapped?
Know someone else who is?
Rescuing people isn’t like
The funny saying on my apron.
.
I can’t pick you up,
Tip you sideways,
And pour you out
Of your trap.
.
But in all seriousness,
We help rescue one another.
We can help others
Escape their traps.
.
Now don’t look at me
And call me Pollyanna.
I’m not a do-gooder,
But I have a secret.
.
It’s the path to love.
It’s the joy and peace
That are absolutely mine.
The path is Jesus!
.
Yes, the right answer
Was learned on Sunday
Way back when you
Were just a little kid.
.
Your Sunday School teacher
Asked you a question,
And you had the key to answer:
“Jesus!” He is the Way!
.
Don’t believe me?
Give Him a try.
If you’re feeling trapped,
Give your struggles to Jesus.
.
My Lord saved the groom
At the wedding feast.
He turned water into wine
And the guests celebrated.
.
If He can do that,
He can turn your challenges
Into learning opportunities.
He can unlock your traps!
.
I hope you really know
That guy named Jesus
Who came to unlock
The traps that bind us.
.
If He isn’t your friend,
I invite you to get acquainted.
Let Him rescue you.
He stands at your heart door.
.
Open it! Don’t remain
Trapped in a bottle, or
In sorrow, or in pain.
Whatever your question…
.
The answer is simply, “Jesus!”
He came to save us
From our entrapments.
Learn from Him – and be free!

Thank you so much for sending me your link. I can see that if we lived closer, you’d be a best friend with whom I’d seek comfort and companionship!
You are very kind and yes, it appears we have a kinship. So very happy to share ideas and words with you. God bless you and keep you! Thank you also for sharing my post with your followers. I look forward to reading more of your work.
You’re welcome. It’s rare that I feel so compelled to share as I did with your blog. I think I only did it once before.
It’s a “God Thing”
Ah. Beautiful picture…cute apron!
Thank you so much 😊
I especially love how you tied it back to coming to Christ. He truly is the way and always readily available to welcome us. Amazing post.
Awww 🥰 Thanks!
Just beautiful Jan, and so true.. Love was his message, and if we all but loved our neighbours as ourselves, and learnt to love and respect ourselves a bit more.. Then most of us would feel so much freer …
Wishing you a peaceful weekend, <3
The Peace that passes understanding be yours, too! Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment. Have a live-filled day! ❤️🤗
You too Jan, enjoy your weekend <3
