OUR HEART SPECIALIST

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

John 14:27 KJV

In a world that is filled with turmoil, heartaches and tragedy, Jesus gives us peace and heals our broken heart.  Jesus is not only our Heart Specialist, He also heals our bodies and our emotions.  Jesus told us that He came to give us an abundant life (John 10:10).

We will be celebrating the birthday of Jesus in ten days and we should give Him a special gift, our heart, our life and all our time.  Jesus deserves to have first place in our heart, in our time, in our life and Jesus should come first before everything and everyone.  Is Jesus first in your heart and life?

If ever someone deserves to be praised and adored, it is Jesus, the Saviour of the world!  John Francis Wade wrote the beautiful hymn “O Come All Ye Faithful”.  I love these words.  “O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord”.  This precious little Baby grew up and died on the cross for our sins because He loves us.

As you give gifts to your loved ones at Christmas, remember to put Jesus first.  We should sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and read the story of His birth from the Bible before we open presents or do anything.  Happy Birthday, Jesus.  I love You and I long for the day when I will see You face to face.
