WE NEED HIM

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in the time of need.”
Hebrews 4:16 KJV

Annie Sherwood Hawks wrote one of my favorite hymns “I Need Thee Every Hour”.  How true this hymn is because you and I need Jesus every hour.  Not only do we need Him every hour, we need Him every minute.  We are living in a world that is filled with violence and hatred and we need His protection.

Today is my spiritual birthday.  I invited Jesus into my heart to be my personal Saviour on August 14, 1980 and I have needed Him every minute of every day.  He is such a faithful Saviour and Friend.  He has never left me, not even for one minute.  When the tears start to fall, He is with me to dry them with tender kisses.

Someone emailed me and wrote “It is unscriptural to tell people that Jesus dwells in our heart”.  I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that it is scriptural.  “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and grounded in love,” (Ephesians 3:17).  Yes, Jesus lives in our heart. 

It doesn’t matter how many crises you have in your life or how many dark valleys you are going through, Jesus cares about you and He will help you and dry your tears if you will only ask Him.  It breaks His heart when you are sad and cry and He longs to set the joy-bells ringing in your heart once again.

Heavenly Father, thank You for letting me serve Jesus.  Precious Saviour, thank You for loving us and for never leaving us.  How I long to see You face to face and praise God, one day I will see You face to face.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  I love You, Jesus.  I love You, Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
