A HAVEN OF LOVE

"Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,"

Psalms 17:8

King James Version

Rev. William Orcutt Cushing wrote the beautiful hymn "UNDER HIS WINGS". Thank God for the loving protective wings of our Saviour.

"Under His wings I am safely abiding, Though the night deepens and tempests are wild, Still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me, He has redeemed me, and I am His child.

Under His wings, under His wings, Who from His love can sever? Under His wings my soul shall abide, Safely abide forever.

Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow! How the heart yearningly turns to His rest! Often when earth has no balm for my healing, There I find comfort, and there I am blessed."

Have you allowed Jesus to put you under the shadow of His wings? He paid the most expensive price ever paid for someone, His very life. Every time I think about Jesus allowing them to crucify Him on the cross for my sins, I am filled with gratifude and awe that He loves me so much.

We talk a lot about how much Jesus loves us but we don't talk very much about how much we love Him. Do we love Him? If so, what are we doing to prove to Him that we love Him. When is the last time you told Jesus that you love Him? Have you ever told Him that you love Him?

One day all of us will stand before God and give an account of the way we treated His beloved Son. Will you be able to look Him in the eye or will you have to hang your head in shame because you hurt Jesus?
