STOP IT

“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?”

James 4:1
King James Version

It hurts Jesus and breaks His heart when we argue and fight. Jesus tells us this in the Bible. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" John 10:10

We need to stop hurting Jesus. He walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, curse Him, spit on Him and crucify Him on the cross for something He had not done.

What kind of love is this? This is an unconditional love that can only come from the heart of our precious Saviour. I've said this many times and I will keep saying it until God calls me home to Heaven. No one loves you like Jesus loves you and no one ever will.

What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world. O how He loves us!
Jesus, when I think of all You have done for me, especially for coming to ne when I couldn't go to You, it feels like my heart is going to explode with happiness. Knowing that You love me enough to come to me when I couldn't go to You brings tears of happiness to me.

Squire Parsons wrote one of the most beautiful, inspiring and heart touching hymns I have ever heard "He Came to Me". To know that Jesus came to me when I couldn't go to Him is enough to make me shout with happiness.

“The gulf that separated me from Christ, my Lord, It was so vast the crossing I could never ford; From where I was to His domain, it seemed so far, I cried, "Dear Lord, I cannot come to where you are.”

He came to me, O, He came to me. When I could not come to where He was, He came to me. That's why He died on Calvary, When I could not come to where He was, He came to me.

He came to me when I was bound in chains of sin, He came to me when I possessed no hope within, He picked me up and He drew me gently to His side, Where, today, in His sweet love I now abide.

He came to me, O, He came to me. When I could not come to where He was, He came to me. That's why He died on Calvary, When I could not come to where He was, He came to me.

Yes, He came to me, O, He came to me. When I could not come to where He was, He came to me. That's why He died on Calvary, When I could not come to where He was, He came to me. When I could not come to where He was, He came to me."

Have you allowed Jesus to come to You? He has been knocking at the door of hearts for many years and they have refused to open the door of their heart and let Him in.
Please don't keep hurting Him. Say yes to Jesus 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.

One day every one of us will stand before God and give an account of the way we treated His beloved Son. I don't know about you but I don't want to have to hang my head in shame because I hurt Jesus. I love You so much Jesus. Thank You for everything.
