ARE WE DOING IT

"And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him."

Matthew 9:9
King James Version

Are we doing it? Are we following Jesus?   If we're not following Jesus, we are doing the things satan wants us to do and we are breaking the heart of our precious Saviour.

L. L. Herron wrote the hymn "I WILL FOLLOW JESUS". Can we honestly say we are doing what we sing in this hymn?

"I will follow Jesus, He gently bids me come; He’s my blessèd master, And He will lead me home; I will follow Jesus, Thro’ sunshine and thro’ rain, Morning, noon and evening—O’er mountain, hill or plain."

We can tell others we are following Jesus and they can even see us doing good things but Jesus can look into our heart and He knows if we really love Him and are serving Him or if we are just putting on a show for others.

Heavenly Father, please search my heart and if there is anything that hurts You, I'm sorry. I don't ever want to hurt Jesus and You but I know there are times when I do.
If someone says or does something to hurt me, instead of me saying something that will hurt them please help me to keep my big mouth shut. Thank You for Your help. I love You. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
