WE CAN TRUST JESUS

"Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,"

Luke 24:1-6
King James Version

In this world filled with violence, we can trust Jesus to take care of us. Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote a beautiful inspiring hymn about our loving Saviour "Because He Lives". Every time I hear these words or sing them, I get tears of love for Jesus in my eyes to know how much He loves us.

"God sent His son, they called Him Jesus; He came to love, heal and forgive; He lived and died to buy my pardon, An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby, And feel the pride and joy he gives; But greater still the calm assurance: This child can face uncertain days because He Lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, Just because He lives!

And then one day, I'll cross the river, I'll fight life's final war with pain; And then, as death gives way to victory, I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, Just because He lives!"

Yes, we can trust Jesus to protect us and love us unconditionally even when we hurt Him. I have said this many times and I will keep saying it "No one loves you like Jesus loves you and no one evr will".
If you have never invited Jesus into your heart to be your Saviour, I urge you, I plead with you to do it even as you read this devotion. Don't miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you. Don't keep hurting Jesus and breaking His heart.
