HE STILL LOVES US

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:”

1 John 2:1 KJV

If we have accepted Jesus into our heart as our personal Saviour, we should try to do things and say things that make Jesus happy.  However, we need to remember that we are still in the flesh and there are times when we hurt Jesus and break His heart.  What a healing balm it is to us to know He still loves us.

Sometimes I get angry at myself because I can’t do everything I want to do.  Then I remember that Jesus loves us so when I am angry, I have to forgive myself because when I’m angry I can’t share His love with others.  I think we sometimes forget that none of us are perfect, only Jesus is perfect.

When we do sin, Jesus intercedes for us with the Father.  We need to be sure that our heart is in right standing with God because Jesus could come back for us even while I am typing this devotion or while you are reading it.  What about your heart?  Is God pleased with the things in your heart?
