A VERY SPECIAL DAY

 

"But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."

 

Luke 18:16
King James Version

 

Today is a very special day for me.  August 14,1980 is the day that I asked God to forgive me for my sins and asked Jesus to come in my heart and be my Saviour.  It is the greatest day of my life.  The next great day will be the day I see Jesus face to face.

 

August 14,1980 is also the day that my daughter was born so I have a lot of joy and happiness in my heart today.

 

 Children are so special.  Jesus loves all children and He is very protective of our children.  We can trust Him to take care of our children.

 

Jesus, thank You for dying on the cross for me and paying for my sins.  Thank You for coming to me when I couldn't come to You.  Precious Saviour, I love You so much and every time I think about how You came to me when I couldn't go to You, my heart is made to rejoice.

 

Squire Parsons wrote the beautiful, heart touching and inspiring hymn "He Came to Me".  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus 0f Nazareth!

 

"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.

 

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."

 

Thank You, dear Jesus, for saving me and for comforting me when I am going through difficult situations and especially for never leaving me.  What a privilege and joy has been mine to serve You.  

 

One happy and joyous day I will see You face to face.  I am going to give You a big hug and spend all eternity telling You how much I love You and how wonderful You are.  Thank You again for everything.
