HE IS STILL ALIVE

"He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,"

Luke 24:6
King James Version

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote the beautiful inspiring and heart touching hymn "Because He Lives". I'm so glad the words in this hymn are true.

"God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus; He came to love, heal and forgive; He lived and died to buy my pardon, An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, Just because He lives!"

It makes satan very angry when we serve Jesus and he will do all he can do to discourage us so much that we stop serving Jesus. We must not let that happen. We must stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us.

No one has ever endured the agony and pain that our precious Saviour did while hanging on the cross for us with the blood flowing down His body.

I have said this before and I will keep saying it until God calls me home to Heaven. No one ever loved you like God and Jesus love you and no one ever will. Their love, concern and care for us is unconditional and unending.

The emotional and physical pain that I have had these last two months are just a vicious attack from satan to discourage me from serving Jesus.

However, satan already lost the battle when our loving Saviour died on the cross for my sins and for your sins.

Thank You, precious Jesus, for loving me when I was so unlovely. Thank You for the many times You have picked me up and carried me until the pain went away.

Knowing that I am going to have the privilege of seeing You face to face some day fills my heart to overflowing with joy and happiness. I love You so much, dear Jesus and look forward to the happy, joyous and victorious day when I will see You face to face.
