A LOVING EXAMPLE

"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

1 Timothy 4:12
King James Version

God used my sister as a loving example to teach me a lesson in love. My cousin told me that when I was little I was afraid of hainvg my hair washed and would start crying when I had my hair washed.

My cousin said that my sister would wash her own hair to show me that it wouldn't hurt. God has used my beloved sister to teach me many things. I thank God and praise Him for making us sisters.

The greatest example of love evrer given to us was when Jesus walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify Him for our sins. Jesus had never sinned yet He allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition for us so we can be saved and go to Heaven when we die.

This is why I have said many times and will keep saying it. No one loves you like Jesus loves you and no one ever will. His love for you and for me is unconditional and unending.

Matilda C. Day wrote a beautiful hymn about our loving precious Saviour "TEN THOUSAND THANKS TO JESUS". I love the words in this inspiring and heart touching hymn.

"Ten thousand thanks to Jesus, Whose life our ransom paid, Whose blood a full atonement For all the world has made. Let every heart adore Him; Let every creature sing Ten thousand thanks to Jesus, Our Savior and our King.

Ten thousand thanks to Jesus; How gladly would we give Ten thousand lives to Jesus, Had we so long to live. Ten thousand tongues shall praise Him, Ten thousand songs ascend To Him, our blest Redeemer, To Him, our dearest friend!"

We know that Jesus loves us and He has proved to us how much He loves us. How much do we love Him? Jesus gave His life for you. What have you given to Him? Is He first in your heart, in your life and in all that you do? If not, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart.
