ONLY JESUS

"Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee."

Song of Solomon 1:3
King James Version

Lela B. Long wrote the beautiful hymn "JESUS IS THE SWEETEST NAME I KNOW". It is true. There is no other name as sweet and dear to my heart as my precious Saviour. I love the words in this heart touching hymn.

"There have been names that I have loved to hear, But never has there been a name so dear To this heart of mine, as the name divine, The precious, precious name of Jesus.

Jesus is the sweetest name I know, And He’s just the same as His lovely name, And that’s the reason why I love Him so; Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know."

Another hymn that brings tears of happiness is the heart touching and encouraging hymn "He". Always remember Jesus loves you so much He died for you. Every time I sing this or hear it, my heart is filled with gratitude knowing Jesus loves us this much.

"He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea. He alone decides who writes a symphony. He lights ev'ry star that makes our darkness bright. He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night.

He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer, Saint or sinner call and always find Him there. Though it makes Him sad to see the way we live, He'll always say, "I forgive."  

May God help you and I to forgive others when they hurt us just as Jesus forgives us when we hurt Him. Do you know Jesus? I didn't ask if you are saved. I asked do you know Him?

To know someone, we have to spend time with the person. How much time do you spend with Jesus? Does Jesus have first place in your heart, in your time and in all you do?

If He doesn't have first place, we are hurting Him and breaking His heart.
