DO YOU LOVE HIM

"Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him."

Psalms 91:14, 15
King James Version

Jesus does so much for us so we should do all that we can do for Him. Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for us. What are we doing for Him?

Jesus should be first in our heart, in our life, in our time and in all that we do. He gave up everything for us. If ever someone deserves to be praised and adored, it is Jesus.  He is the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS" and He loves us.

What are we doing to prove to Him how much we love Him? If we want to make our Saviour happy, then we will love one another unconditionally as He has commanded us to love each other.

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." John 13:34 Can we honestly say that we always love each other unconditionally?

I can't say that I always love others like Jesus wants me to love because there are times when someone hurts me that I get angry and I have to pray and ask God to help me keep my big mouth shut.

"For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be." (James 3:7-10)

Do you love Jesus? If so, what are you doing to prove to Him that you love Him? The best way to prove to Jesus that you love Him is by loving others as He loves us. I love You, Jesus. Thank You for dying for me and for never leaving me. One happy and joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.

Carrie E. Breck wrote the beautiful heart touching hymn "FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR" I believe when she wrote this hymn that she wrote it from the love she had for Jesus in her heart.

"Face to face with Christ, my Savior, Face to face—what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me? Face to face I shall behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by!"

Are you going to see Jesus when He comes back for us? Has there ever been a time in your life when you admitted you were a sinner, asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus into your heart? If not, I urge you to do it now even as you read this devotion. Jesus is waiting for you with His arms open wide and a heart full of love for you.
