Christian - forgiven - grateful

Welcome! My name is Richard Templin Hancock and I am a senior citizen who has found great peace in his old age in the forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers to sinners. I enjoy reading my Bible and recording short Devotional podcasts with the aim to encourage us all to have faith in God and follow His Son Jesus Christ every day.
I hope the following blog posts will be an encouragement to you:

Here--put your troubles here!

(Charles Spurgeon)

"Cast your burden on the Lord--and He will sustain you." Psalm 55:22

Cast your troubles where you have cast your sins. You have cast your sins onto Jesus--cast your troublesthere also!

As soon as the trouble comes, quick, the first thing--tell it to your heavenly Father! Remember, that the longer you take telling your trouble to God--the more your peace will be impaired. The longer the frost lasts--the more likely the ponds will be frozen.

Oh! It is a happy way of smoothing sorrow, when we can cast our burden upon the Lord. Oh, you agitated Christians, do not dishonor your religion by always wearing a 'frown of concern'. Come, cast your burden upon the Lord.

I see you staggering beneath a weight which He would not feel.
What seems a crushing burden to you--would be nothing but a bit of dust to Him!

See! The Almighty bends His shoulders, and He says:"Here--put your troubles here!"

"Cast all your cares upon Him--because He cares about you!" 1 Peter 5:7
