ARE WE DOING IT

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

Isaiah 53:5
King James Version

Rev. Thomas O. Chisholm wrote the beautiful hymn "Living for Jesus". Are we doing what we sing in this hymn?

"Living for Jesus, a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do; Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free, This is the pathway of blessing for me.

O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee, For Thou, in Thy atonement, didst give Thyself for me; I own no other Master, my heart shall be Thy throne; My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone."

Are we living for Jesus? Have we given Him first place in our heart, in our life and in all that we do? May God help us to make Jesus the King of our life.

Jennie E. Hussey wrote the hymn "LEAD ME TO CALVARY". Have you been to Calvary and invited Jesus into your heart to be your Saviour?

"King of my life, I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory be; Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary.

Lest I forget Gethsemane, Lest I forget Thine agony; Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary.

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid, Tenderly mourned and wept; Angels in robes of light arrayed Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.

May I be willing, Lord, to bear Daily my cross for Thee; Even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me."

There are times when I get discouraged because I am in pain and can't do what I need to do and then I remember Jesus is with me and He will never leave me.

What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world! I love You, dear Jesus, and I appreciate everything You have done for me and one happy day I will have the privilege to see You face to face and I will be with You forever.
