HIS PROMISES

"And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life."

1 John 2:25
King James Version

Jesus has also promised us that He will never leave us or forsake us. We read this promise in the Bible. "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5.

What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know we can trust Jesus because what He says, He will do. It is always safe to trust Jesus to not only take care of us but also to never leave us.

James Rowe wrote the hymn "HIS PROMISE TO ME". I love the words in this beautiful heart touching hymn.
"Darkness may o’ertake me And my song forsake me, But alone I never shall be; For the Friend beside me Promised He would guide me, And will keep His promise to me.

Should misfortune meet me, Friends may fail to greet me, But if true to Jesus I stay He will still uphold me, Let His love enfold me Every dreary mile of the way."

Jesus, thank You for being faithful to us. I pray we will be faithful to You and not hurt You. I love You, dear Jesus, and I appreciate all You have done for me. I look forward to the happy and joyous day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face. Jesus keeps His promises to us. Do we keep our promises to Him?
