WHAT ARE WE GIVING HIM

“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”

John 19:30 KJV

Frances Ridley Havergal wrote a beautiful hymn “I Gave My Life for Thee”.  It asks us a question that each one of us needs to ask himself or herself.  The question is what are we giving our precious Saviour?  Have we given Him our life, all of our time, all of our talents and all that we have?

Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge how much Jesus loves you?  Yes, I’m talking about you!  He loves you so much that He allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, spit on Him, mock Him and curse Him.  Nobody loves you like He loves you and nobody ever will.

I knew for many years that Jesus loves us but when I used to sing that song in Sunday school about Jesus loving us, it was very hard for me to accept the fact that Jesus, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS would love me but He does love me and He loves you.  What an amazing unconditional love!

I’ve always wanted to sing in the choir at church but when I joined the choir, I was asked to leave because I sang off key.  It broke my heart and I cried.  However, one wonderful day I will sing in the Heavenly Choir and I will sing on key.  How I long for that day!  I will be able to sing and praise Jesus for eternity.

Heavenly Father, You gave Your beloved Son to die for us.  Precious Saviour, You gave Your life for us on the cross.  Thank You for dying for us and for Your amazing and unconditional love.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  I love You, Jesus.  I love You, Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
