ASSURANCE

"Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."

Hebrews 10:22
King James Version

Fan­ny Cros­by wrote one of my favorite hymns "Blessed Assurance". I love the words in this inspiring hymn. "Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior, all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour, all the day long."

How often do we thank Jesus and praise Him for all He has done for us? I believe we hurt our precious Saviour many times because we not only don't thank and praise Him, we sometimes ignore Him.

Someone said "I'm too busy. I don't have time to pray and read the Bible". However, this same person has time to watch the news and read the newspaper before going to work.

Our precious Saviour allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, spit on Him and crucify Him on the cross for your sins and for my sins and He had never done anything wrong. There is no greater love than the love Jesus has for you and for me.

Jesus, thank You for loving us even when we hurt and fail You. Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that you are loved by the Saviour of the world, Who loves you so much He died for you?
