WE NEED JESUS

"But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them."

Luke 24:29
King James Version

Rev. Henry Francis Lyte wrote the hymn "ABIDE WITH ME". If ever we needed Jesus, it is now. The world is full of violence, hatred, murders, school shootings and all other things that hurt Jesus and break His heart.   We desperately need our precious Saviour.

"Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide; The darkness thickens. Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail, And comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me!

Swift to its close Ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, Its glories pass away; Change and decay In all around I see; O Thou  who changest not, Abide with me!"

Annie S. Hawks wrote one of my favorite hymns "I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR". I don't just need Jesus every hour, I need Him every minute. Without His love and guidance I would go to bed and stay there.

"I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine can peace afford. I need Thee, O I need Thee; Every hour I need Thee; O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee."

Jesus, thank You for loving us, for dying for our sins on the cross and for never leaving us, not even for a minute. One happy day, I will see You face to face and will be with You for all eternity. I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You for everything.
