THE LOVE OF JESUS

 "The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."

 

Jeremiah 31:3
King James Version

 

Rev. Charles P. Jones wrote one of my favorite hymns "DEEPER, DEEPER".  I am so thankful for the unconditional love of our precious Saviour.

 

"Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus Daily let me go; Higher, higher in the school of wisdom, More of grace to know.

 

O deeper yet, I pray, And higher every day, And wiser, blessèd Lord, In Thy precious, holy Word.

 

Deeper, deeper, blessèd Holy Spirit, Take me deeper still, Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus, And His perfect will.

 

Deeper, deeper! though it cost hard trials, Deeper let me go! Rooted in the holy love of Jesus, Let me fruitful grow.

 

Deeper, higher, every day in Jesus, Till all conflict past, Finds me conqueror, and in His own image Perfected at last.
Deeper, deeper in the faith of Jesus, Holy faith and true; In His power and soul exulting wisdom Let me peace pursue."

 

I have not had the privilege to go to Bible College but I have been under the teachings of the Holy Spirit every day for the last twenty years.  Does this mean that I am perfect?  Absolutely not!  The only perfect Person Who ever lived or ever will live is Jesus.

 

I have had several requests to write for people but I have had to tell them that I have tried many times to sit down and write a devotion and the words would not come.  When you get a devotion from me, you can know that Jesus inspired me and helped me write it.

 

Is your life wholly lost in Jesus and His perfect will or are you allowing satan to take you out of the will of our precious Saviour?  We are either serving satan or we are serving Jesus.  

 

Are you serving Jesus or are you serving satan?  Do people see and hear the love of Jesus in you or do they see and hear the hatred of satan?
