NOBODY AND NOTHING

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8:35 - 39
King James Version

Charles Conway wrote a beautiful hymn about our precious Saviour "RANSOMED AND REDEEMED". I believe he wrote this hymn from his heart.

Do you know our precious Saviour? I didn't ask if you are saved. I asked if you know Him. To know someone, we have to spend time with that person. How much time do you spend with Jesus?

Someone said "I don't have time to pray and talk to Jesus before I go to work." However, this same person reads the newspaper before going to work. If we have time to read the newspaper and watch television before we go to work, we have time to spend with Jesus.

How we must hurt Jesus and break His heart at times when we put things and people ahead of Him. One day every one of us will stand before God and give an account of the way we treated His beloved Son.

I don't know about you but I don't want to have to hang my head in shame because I put people and things ahead of Him. After all that our precious Saviour has done for us, He deserves to have first place.
