OUR HEAVENLY FATHER’S HEART

“While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”
Matthew 17:5 KJV

O how God loves Jesus!  He is very proud of His Son and God wants us to love Jesus, listen to Jesus and serve Jesus.  Do we listen to Jesus?  I think if we are honest with ourselves there are times when we can’t hear Him talking because the television or radio is too loud.  He’s not going to shout so we can hear Him.

It hurts God and breaks His heart when we put other things and people ahead of Jesus.  Why is it that we can get up very early in the morning to go fishing but we can’t get up early in the morning to spend time with Jesus?  Someone said “You will make time to do what is important to you”.

The question every one of us needs to answer is “How important is Jesus to me?”  We can say that Jesus is important to us but Jesus can see into our heart and He knows if we are being honest or just giving Him lip service.  O that you and I will put Jesus first in everything we do.  He deserves to have first place.

Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for our sins.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  O how I love Jesus.  He is the joy of my heart and the reason I’m living.  What a privilege it is to serve the KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS!

What a privilege it is to be loved by God.  Our Heavenly Father is a tender compassionate and forgiving Father.  Think about it!  God, the Creator of the world loves you so much He gave His own Son to die on the cross for your sins so you can be saved.
