FROM THE GULF OF DESPAIR

“In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.”
Isaiah 63:9 KJV

Pastor Isaac Watts wrote a beautiful hymn about Jesus taking us from despair to happiness “Plunged in a Gulf of Dark Despair”.  I love these words in this inspiring hymn.  “With pitying eyes the Prince of grace Beheld our helpless grief; He saw, and, O amazing love! He ran to our relief.”  What an amazing love!

If there has never been a time in your life when you humbled yourself, admitted you are a sinner, repented of your sins, asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour, I urge you, I plead with you to give your heart to Jesus before it is too late.

One day it will be too late so please don’t wait.  Open the door of your heart to Jesus now.  “And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us” (Matthew 25:10,11)

Heavenly Father, I pray for all those who have never given their heart to Jesus.  May today be the day they say yes to Jesus.  For those who have given their heart to Jesus, but not their time, their talents and their life, I pray they will open the door of their heart wider to our Saviour.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
