DECISIONS

"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision."

Joel 3:14
King James Version

We have many decisions to make but the most important decision you will ever make is what will you do with Jesus and where will you spend eternity.

We read in the Bible. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36.

All of us would like a big fancy car and live in a big house but the mansions that Jesus are preparing for us are more beautiful and more expensive than any thing we could ever build or buy. They were purchased with the blood of Jesus.

Rev. Robert Lowry wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn "NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD". I believe Rev. Lowry wrote this hymn from his love for Jesus.

"What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my pardon, this I see, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; For my cleansing this my plea, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus."

Missionary Sundar Singh wrote the hymn "I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS" We sing the words but do we mean what we are singing?

"I have decided to follow Jesus. I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, No turning back, no turning back.

The world behind me, the cross before me, The world behind me, the cross before me, The world behind me, the cross before me, No turning back, no turning back."

I made the decision to ask Jesus in my heart on August 14, 1980. I have had the privilege and joy of serving Jesus full time since August 14, 1980. Are you serving Jesus? If not, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart.
