OUR INTERIOR DECORATOR

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.”

Ezekiel 36:26 KJV

I have beautiful things in my home because my sister gave them to me.  She has decorated my home with not only beautiful things but also with love.  However, the greatest interior decorator is Jesus, our Interior Decorator.  He decorates our heart with love and compassion for others.

Before I gave my heart and life to Jesus, I wasn’t a very nice person.  I thought only of myself and even felt sorry for myself.  The more I learn about Jesus, the more I am ashamed that I didn’t put others before me.  If ever someone puts others first, it is Jesus, the Saviour of the world.

Jesus put us first when He left His home, His Father and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for our sins.  God didn’t make Jesus come to earth and die for us.  It is because Jesus loves us so much that He died for us.  Jesus loves us with an amazing unconditional and compassionate love.

Jesus loved us yesterday.  He loves us today and He will love us tomorrow.  There is nothing we could ever do that would make Him stop loving us.  Think about it!  Jesus, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify Him for our sins.

If you ever doubt you are loved, remember Jesus and all that He sacrificed for you.  Jesus is not only our Saviour, He is also the best Friend we will ever have.  He never leaves us, not even for a minute!  What a Saviour, what a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!
