THE LIGHT OF OUR HEART

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

John 8:12 KJV

Jesus is not only the Light of the world, He is also the Light of our heart.  When our heart grows dark because we have been criticized, Jesus reassures us that He loves us as He shines brighter in our heart.  He loves us even when we fail Him and hurt Him.

Jesus doesn’t turn His love for us off and on like a water faucet as we sometimes do to others.  He loved us yesterday.  He loves us today; He will love us tomorrow and for all eternity.  Have you allowed it to enter your heart that you are loved by the Saviour of the world?  He loves you so much He died for you.

One day we will have the privilege of seeing our precious Saviour face to face.  I am going to give Him a big hug and I will spend all eternity hugging Him and telling Him how much I love Him and appreciate Him.  We will be with our Saviour for all eternity and there will be no more hitting or yelling.

Jim Hill wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn “What A Day That Will Be”.  I love these words.  “What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see and I look upon His face.”  Think about it.  We are going to see Jesus face to face and be with Him forever.  How I long for that day!  O how I love Jesus!!
