WE BREAK HIS HEART

"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up."

Psalms 5:3
King James Version

Why is it that we can make time to read the paper, watch the news and even get up early to go fishing or on vacation but we don't take time to talk to Jesus in the morning? If we have time to do other things, we have time to talk to Jesus.

I believe there are times when we hurt Him and break His heart because we only talk to Him when we have time or want something.

If we don't have time to talk to Jesus, we are too busy and we need to rearrange our schedule to make sure Jesus comes first.

I think there are times when we put Jesus on the shelf like we do a puppet and only take Him down when we need something or want something.

How we must hurt Him and break His heart. We need to remember Jesus has feelings too and it hurts Him when we ignore Him. If He didn't have feelings, He would never have walked that long lonely road to Callvary and allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, pound nails into His hands, spit on Him, curse Him and crucify Him for something He had not done.

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for not putting Jesus first in our heart, in our time and in everything we do. I know it breaks Your heart to see Your beloved Son ignored at times and then hear us asking Him to do something for us.

We're sorry we hurt You. Please help us to put Jesus first in our heart, in our time and in everything we do. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
