WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

“O GIVE thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.”

Psalm 107:1-3 KJV

Years ago when the pastor would ask for testimonies, I did not give my testimony.  How I must have hurt Jesus and broke His heart.  However, before you judge me when was the last time you gave your testimony?  Someone asked me why I didn’t give my testimony.  It is because I hadn’t fallen in love with Jesus.

A person can have their sins forgiven and be assured of a home in Heaven and not love Jesus.  The more I studied my Bible and realized how much Jesus has done for me and how much He does for me every day and that He loves me unconditionally, I fell deeply in love with my precious Saviour.

When I think of Jesus suffering and dying on the cross because of my sins, I wonder why He loves me so much that He would allow them to crucify Him.  It is because not only does Jesus give us love, He is love.  If anyone ever asks you who Jesus is, tell them He is love and that He loves them unconditionally.

For many years, I was in a crippling and devastating depression and one wonderful day Jesus put His arms of love around me and said four words I had never heard from anyone.  Jesus said “I love you, Joanne”.  Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge how much Jesus loves you?
