OUR LOVING SAVIOUR

"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

J. P. Ashley wrote the beautiful and inspiring hymn "CLOSER TO THEE". I love the words in this hymn.

"Jesus, draw us closer to Thee,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace, Crown our worship with Thy presence, Bid us from all sorrow cease; Grant us from our sins deliverance, From all unbelief set free; Come, O come, Thou blest Redeemer, That Thy glory we may see.

Closer to Thee, yes, closer to Thee, May we ever still be clinging, Closer to Thee.
Thou alone from sin canst save us, Thou alone canst cleanse the soul; Speak the word, O mighty Jesus, And we’re every whit made whole; Now I see Thee, precious Jesus, See Thee as my sovereign king; Joy, O joy, I’ve found salvation, Heav’n and earth His praises sing."

Jesus has proved to us over and over how much He loves us. What are we doing to prove to Him that we love Him? We can say we love someone but just as Jesus proved to us that He loves us, we also need to prove to Him that we love Him.

I love You, precious Jesus and look forward to the happy joyous day when I will have the privilege of seeing You.
