HAVE WE ENCOURAGED JESUS

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

Matthew 25:40 KJV

Jesus has feelings and He gets discouraged when people reject Him.  He has been knocking at the door of some people’s heart for years and they have refused to let Him come into their heart.  Have we encouraged Jesus?  If we have encouraged one another, then we have encouraged our precious Saviour.

How do we encourage one another?  We encourage them by doing kind and loving things for them and by saying loving words to them.  If we know people who are discouraged, we need to reach out to them with comfort and encouragement before they ask us.

Isn’t that what Jesus does for us?  Jesus sees into our heart and He knows the dark valleys and crises we go through and He is faithful to pick us up in His loving arms and carry us until the pain goes away.  Not only does He carry us until the pain goes away, He sets us once again on the mountain top of happiness.

When is the last time you hugged someone and told him or her how much Jesus loves him or her?  If you’re not comfortable hugging them physically, hug them with loving words and actions.  Remember when we hug one another, we are hugging Jesus.  Have you hugged Jesus today with words and actions?

It’s important that we study our Bible and learn about people, places and things but it is much more important to learn about the heart of Jesus.  If ever someone deserves to be happy, it is Jesus, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!
