A TRIBUTE TO JESUS

"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
King James Version

A friend of mine came to visit me and we were talking about how Jesus had given me a new heart and that I was not a hateful person any longer. My friend said "I can't believe you were ever that way because you are so kind and loving now".

After my friend left, I thought I should have told her to ask my sister. I have the best sister in the world. God knew that I would need a lot of guidance and understanding so He gave my sister to me.

Is my sister perfect? No, she isn't just as I am not perfect but God in His wisdom made us sisters. I really was a hateful person. I didn't even like myself. For several years, I couldn't look in a mirror because I didn't like what I saw.

As much as I love my sister and family, it is nothing compared to the love I have for Jesus. My precious Saviour put His arms of compassion and love around me, told me He loves me and He would never leave me or let anyone hurt me again.

One happy and joyous day, I will see Jesus face to face. What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world. If you ever think nobody loves you or cares about you, remember the cross and the excruciating pain that Jesus suffered so you can be saved and go to Heaven.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much that You gave Your beloved Son to pay the price for our sins, a price we could never have paid. Thank You for the privilege You have given me to serve Jesus. I love You and appreciate all You have done for me. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
