This is not about falling in love, this is about when a man fall in sin or he is already in sin, and he knew it, he decided it and choose to do it even the call is not to. For a Christian this is serious issue, if the reader is not yet in Christ, please bear with me. I'm just an ordinary guy living the Christian faith and sharing how I walk in this narrow path only few chose.

There's only one solution, run back to Him, the one full of love and grace. Christ already overcome those things at the cross. There are times Believers became Christ-amnesiac and forgot everything He did and forcefully grab the wheel when Jesus already takes the wheel. Then what will happen? Crash! Boom! All those cherish years gone.

One thing about a man that falls down is he is restless due to the heaviness of sin, it will not give him such rest. Only Jesus can give such rest, His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He is the gentle and humble savior that saves all who believe in Him yet everyone is questioning Him. But are those who questioned Him really have such rest that they wont be troubled about eternity?

There are two kinds of person who are heavy laden. These two man returned to Christ is different ways. The one, opened his eyes and believe and the other one, God closed his eyes in order for him to see.

The first dude is one of the criminals who are crucified along with Jesus.

“And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our crimes; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” — Luke 23:41-43

I think this conversation between the guy and Jesus is so sweet. The criminal said “remember me” (by the way the guy's life in on the line as he is also impaled in the cross) Then Jesus answers (cause He is the answer Himself) “today, you will be with me” Such words already give you rest.

The second guy is the man formerly known as Saul, also known as Paul afterwards.

and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, but get up and enter the city, and it will be told to you what you must do.” — Acts 9:4-6

The criminals story is suddenly sweet but worth cherishing. Paul's story is sweet too, but this sweet rest in his soul that Jesus gave became a channel to more souls that needed rest during his time.

Different stories but it's the same thing and the same end, it ends both dudes in Christ.

The man in the world today is totally depraved and heavily laden yet he doesn't care, the man already embraced his own truth and put aside the absolute truth that the Bible only can give. It's such a blessing that man is so wise, he can make rockets still land vertically and have enough wealth for the next generation to come but...

“For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? — Mark 8:36

When a man fall down and get stuck and weary...only Christ is the solution to lift him up. Self help books, money, power, knowledge and fame will help but it's not enough...

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, 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 comfortable, and My burden is light.” — Matthew 11:28-30
