NEVER

"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."

Isaiah 53:3-7
King James Version

Our precious Saviour never sinned, never did anything wrong yet He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for something He hadn't done. We will never have anyone who loves us like Jesus loves us.

His love is unconditional and there is nothing we could ever do that would make Him stop loving us. Someone said "Why do you write about Jesus so much?" It is because Jesus the reason I'm living and the Joy of my heart. O how I love Jesus and one day I will have the privilege of seeing Him face to face.

Carrie E. Breck wrote the beautiful heart touching and inspiring hymn "Face to Face with Christ, My Savior". I love these words. "Face to face—oh, blissful moment! Face to face—to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ who loves me so."

Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge how much Jesus loves you? The beauty of His heart outshines the most handsome man or beautiful women you have ever seen and wonder of wonders, He loves us!
