“And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus<\/span>.” Matthew 14:12<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The above verse takes place after the beheading of John the Baptist. In my Bible, beside this passage, I have written “I must tell Jesus”.\u00a0 Just as the disciples went immediately to Jesus in their time of sorrow, I am very thankful that we can run to HIM with ALL of our burdens.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

There was a wo\u00adman to whom God had per\u00admit\u00adted ma\u00adny vi\u00adsit\u00ada\u00adtions of sor\u00adrow and af\u00adflict\u00adion. Com\u00ading to her home one day, I found her much dis\u00adcour\u00adaged. She un\u00adbur\u00addened her heart, con\u00adcluding with the quest\u00adion, \u201cBro\u00adther Hoff\u00adman, what shall I do?\u201d I quot\u00aded from the word, then add\u00aded, \u201cYou can\u00adnot do bet\u00adter than to take all of your sor\u00adrows to Je\u00adsus. You must tell Jesus.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a mo\u00adment she seemed lost in med\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtion. Then her eyes light\u00aded as she ex\u00adclaimed, \u201cYes, I must tell Je\u00adsus.\u201d As I left her home I had a vi\u00adsion of that joy-il\u00adlum\u00adin\u00adat\u00aded face\u2026and I heard all along my path\u00adway the echo<\/strong>, \u201cI must tell Je\u00adsus. I must tell Je\u00adsus.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hoffman wrote these words after reaching home…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I must tell Jesus all of my trials;
\nI cannot bear these burdens alone;
\nIn my distress He kindly will help me;
\nHe ever loves and cares for His own.<\/p>\n

I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!<\/strong>
\n I cannot bear my burdens alone;<\/strong>
\n I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!<\/strong>
\n Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I must tell Jesus all of my troubles;
\nHe is a kind, compassionate friend;
\nIf I but ask Him, He will deliver,
\nMake of my troubles quickly an end.<\/p>\n

I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!<\/strong>
\n I cannot bear my burdens alone;<\/strong>
\n I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!<\/strong>
\n Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tempted and tried, I need a great Savior;
\nOne Who can help my burdens to bear;
\nI must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;
\nHe all my cares and sorrows will share.<\/p>\n

I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!<\/strong>
\n I cannot bear my burdens alone;<\/strong>
\n I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!<\/strong>
\n Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

O how the world to evil allures me!
\nO how my heart is tempted to sin!
\nI must tell Jesus, and He will help me
\nOver the world the victory to win.<\/p>\n

I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!<\/strong>
\n I cannot bear my burdens alone;<\/strong>
\n I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!<\/strong>
\n Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n
