IS HE LORD OF ALL

“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

Revelation 19:16 KJV

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote the beautiful hymn “Jesus Is Lord Of All”.  Every Christian needs to search his or her heart about Jesus.  Is He Lord of all in our life and in our heart?  We can fool others but we can’t fool Jesus.  He sees into our heart and He knows if we are just giving Him lip service.

Do we put activities and people before Jesus?  If so, we are hurting Him and breaking His heart.  After all that Jesus has does for us; He deserves to come first in our heart and in our life before everyone and everything.  One day we will stand before a Holy God and give an account of the way we treated Jesus.

Will we be ashamed of the way we treated Jesus?  Our precious Saviour is not a puppet to be put on a shelf and only taken down when we need or want something.  The first thought we should have when we wake up should be about Jesus.  The first thing I do every morning is tell Jesus that I love Him.

It would break my heart if Jesus didn’t tell me every day that He loves me but He does tell me every day that He loves me.  If you will listen with your heart, you will hear Jesus say to you every day “I love you”.  What a privilege is ours to be loved by the Saviour of the world.  O how I love Jesus!

I think that we sometimes forget that Jesus has feelings.  He really cares about us.  When we cry, He weeps with us and when we laugh, He rejoices with us.  When the night is long and we can’t sleep, He sits beside our bed, holds our hand and tenderly whispers “I love you”.  Thank You, Jesus, for loving us.
