WHY

"The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."

Jeremiah 31:3
King James Version

Robert Harkness wrote a beautiful hymn "Why Should He Love Me So?" The hymn asks a question that I've often wondered why He loves us so.

"Love sent my Savior to die in my stead; Why should He love me so? Meekly to Calvary's cross He was led; Why should He love me so?

Why should He love me so? Why should He love me so? Why should my Savior to Calvary go? Why should He love me so?

Nails pierced His hands and His feet for my sin; Why should He love me so? He suffered sore my salvation to win: Why should He love me so?"

Thank You, Jesus, for loving us, for dying on the cross for our sins and for the promise that one day we will see You face to face.

Carrie E. Breck wrote the beautiful hymn "FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR". I'm so glad the words in this hymn are true and that we will see Jesus face to face.

"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?

Only faintly now I see Him, With the darkened veil between, But a blessèd day is coming, When His glory shall be seen.

What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened, And the dark things shall be plain.

Face to face—oh, blissful moment! Face to face—to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ who loves me so."

Are you going to see Jesus face to face? Don't miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you. I love You, dear Jesus. What a happy and joyous day it will be when I have the privilege of seeing You face to face.
