PRAISE HIM

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Isaiah 9:6 KJV

E. F. Miller wrote the beautiful hymn “O Wonderful Savior”.  These words in this hymn touch my heart.  “Yes, He came to give life to the dying, To heal all the broken in heart; And He promised a home where’s no sighing, And loved ones shall ne’er again part.”  O how I love Jesus!  He is so precious to me.

For those of us who have lost loved ones, to know that we will be reunited with them fills our heart with gladness.  Jesus not only heals us physically, He also heals our broken heart.  When we think we can’t give another smile or take another step, He picks us up and carries us until the pain goes away.

What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  How He loves you.  He loves you so much He allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, curse Him and crucify Him on the cross for your sins.  No one loves you like Jesus loves you and no one ever will.  He longs to comfort and encourage you.

Heavenly Father, I pray for all those who are hurting.  Please let them know how much You love them and comfort and encourage them.  Thank You for adopting me into Your family and thank You for giving me the privilege of serving Jesus.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
