IT IS JESUS!

“But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."

Matthew 14:27
King James Version

Paul E. Kretzmann wrote a beautiful hymn about Jesus "WHEN UPON THE RAGING WATERS". I love the words in this hymn.

"When upon the raging waters, In the dark and stormy night, The disciples hard were toiling, Weary with the losing fight; When their hearts were filled with terror, And their fears would not be laid, Then the voice of Jesus cheered them: It is I, be not afraid!"

I have a family I love and a wonderful Pastor who I respect and love and I have many wonderful friends but Jesus is my best Friend and one day I will have the privilege of seeing Him face to face when God calls me home to Heaven.

Carrie E. Breck wrote the beautiful and heart touching hymn "FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR" What a day of happiness and joy when we 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.

Face to face I shall behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by!"

Don't miss out on spending eternity in Heaven with Jesus. If you have never given your heart and life to Jesus, I urge you to do it even as you read this devotion.

Jesus is waiting for you to come to Him with His heart filled with love and His arms open wide to receive you.
