WHY DO YOU

"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
Someone said to me "I don't know why you keep writing devotions when you are in so much pain"? I replied, "Jesus was in more pain than I am and He was in more pain than anyone has ever been or ever will be but He stayed on the cross so we can be saved and go to Heaven when we die".

It really happened. This is not just something we need to memorize and learn for school. They really did pound nails into the hands of our precious Saviour. They spat on Him. They mocked Him. They cursed Him. They plucked His becard. He left His Father and His home to come to earth to did for us.

How can we do less than give Him first place in our heart and in our life after all He has done for us? One happy day, Jesus is coming back for us to take us to Heaven and we will be with Him for eternity.

Do you understand? Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that Jesus loves you so much He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for your sins?

I have said this many times and I wlll keep saying it until you get it. No one loves you like Jesus loves you and no one ever will. If you are hurting today, tell Jesus. He will pick you up and carry you until the pain goes away. He really cares about you and wants you 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).

Jesus loves us so much He died for us. What are we doing for Him?
