HE STILL LOVES US

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

John 3:16, 17
King James Version

No matter how many times we hurt God, He still loves us. I used to have a terrible temper but Jesus gave me a new heart and helped me with my bad temper. I very rarely get upset with someone but there are times I get upset with myself when I can't do something around the house.

We need to keep our home clean but what impresses God is the condition of our heart. When God looks in our heart, does He see things that make Him happy or does He see things that hurt Him and break His heart?

When I got out of the hospital, I was still so depressed that I couldn't even make my bed. I would pick the sheet up to spread it on the bed and I couldn't do it. I would just stand there and cry. The day I made my bed I was so happy.

If there is something you want to do and are unable to do it. know that Jesus still loves you. If we will ask Him, He will help us do the things we need to do and the things we want to do. Our precious Saviour really loves us and He wants us to be happy.

Jesus tells us in the Bible that He wants us to be happy. We read in the Bible "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

Thank You, Jesus, for loving us and for caring about us. I love You and I long for the day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face. Carrie E. Breck wrote one of my favorite hymns "Face to Face with Christ, My Savior". I love the words in this heart touching hymn.

"What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened, And the dark things shall be plain." Are you ready to meet Jesus if He comes back for us today?
