THE SAVIOUR IS PLEADING

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:."

John 1:12
King James Version

J. L. Louderback wrote a beautiful hymn "THE PLEADING VOICE The Voice of Love" . I love the words in this hymn.

"Weary, wand’ring child of grief, Hear the Savior’s pleading voice; If you only come to Him, He will make your heart rejoice.

O receive Him, O, believe Him; Christ in mercy bids you come; He’ll receive you, He’ll relieve you, And prepare you for His home.

Tho’ your soul be foul with sin, He can make you white as snow; Do you sigh for peace within? To the living fountain go.

Wand’rer, then, retrace thy course, Trust thy soul to His dear love, Now the Savior pleads for thee, In the courts of Heav’n above.

When life’s weary race is run, And thy conflicts all are past, Heav’n in view, the vict’ry won, God will crown you His at last."

Jesus, all the words in the world couldn't express how much I loveYou. When I think about You allowing them to crucify You for my sins, there is only one thing I can say to You and that is to tell You over and over how much I love You.

To know that one day I am going to have the privilege of seeing You face to face brings tears of joy and happiness to my eyes. Thank You so much for loving me when I was so unlovely.
