HE FORGIVES US

"Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"

Colossians 1:12-14
King James Version

Jesus doesn't condemn us. He loves us unconditionally and He forgives us. We read in the Bible. "She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." (John 8:11)

It hurts Jesus and breaks His heart when we are unkind and don't love others unconditionally as He has commanded us to love but He still loves us. After all Jesus has done for us, we should do all we can do to make Him happy.

If ever someone deserves to be loved, adored and praised, it is Jesus! He is the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS". Please join me in praising the One Who loves you so much He deid for you.

Kurt Kaiser wrote one of my favorite hymns " O How He Loves You and Me" I love the words in this inspiring hymn. "Jesus to Calvary did go, His love for sinners to show. What He did there brought hope from despair. Oh, how He loves you; Oh, how he loves me; Oh, how he loves you and me."

We know how much Jesus loves us but how much do we love Him? Do we love Him? If we do love Him, what are we doing to show Him that we love Him? After all that Jesus has done for us, He deserves first place in our heart. Does Jesus have first place in your heart, in your life and in your time? If not, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart.

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins. Thank You for adopting me into Your family and for the privilege You have given me to serve Jesus. Thank You for loving me when I was so unlovely. Jesus, thank You for giving me a new heart and for never leaving me.

I pray for every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour. Please encourage and less their ministry. I love You, Heavenly Father and I appreciate all You have done for me. I love You, Jesus. I love You, Holy Spirit. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
