 YES HE DOES

"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
King James Version

Someone made the comment "Jesus doesn't love me or care about me". I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that Jesus does care about us. If He doesn't care, He would never have allowed them to crucify Him. Thank You, Jesus, for loving us and for caring. I love You, precious Saviour.

 A MANSION OF LOVE

"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

John 14:2, 3
King James Version

Sometimes we see pictures of mansions that someone has built but there is only one mansion that is a mansion of love and our loving Saviour has decorated it for us.

Not only do we have a mansion waiting for us, we will be with Jesus forever and there will ne more crying, sickness or death. Are you shouting with happiness yet?

Please join me in praising the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS". Worthy is the Lamb of God! All hail, King Jesus! I love You, Jesus, and one day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.

Carrie E. Breck wrote a beautiful heart touching hymn about our loving Saviour "FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR". I love the words in this hymn and I'm so glad I will see Jesus face to face.

"What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened, And the dark things shall be plain." If you are reading this devotion, know that Jesus loves you and He will always love you.

There is nothing you could do to make Him stop loving you. He loved you yesterday. He loves you today and He will love you forever. \Allow His love for you to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge. He loves you, He loves you, He loves you and you are precious to Him. He loves you so much He died for you.

 I CRIED

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

Genesis 1:1
King James Version

When I read this verse the other day, I cried because we have hurt our Heavenly Father because of the things we have done to this world. God made it a place of beauty and happiness but we have made it into a place filled with violence, hatred and all other things that hurt Him.

May God forgive us for hurting Him because of the things we have done. Let's start being an encouragement to one another. It will make our Saviour happy. Making Jesus happy should be the desire of our heart.

 DON'T BE AFRAID

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Isaiah 41:10
King James Version

There has probably been times in all of our lives when things happened and we needed help. Our Heavenly Father has promised us that He will help us. Not only does He help us, He also loves us unconditionally.

Pastor Elisha A. Hoffman wrote one of my favorite hymns "LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS". I love the words in this inspiring hymn.

"What have I to dread? What have I to fear? Leaning on the everlasting arms; I have blessèd peace With my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms."

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us and for taking care of us. It is a privilege to be part of the family of God. Thank You for the many times You have comforted and encouraged me.

What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know You will never hit us or kick us out of Heaven. Thank You for making a way for us to be saved and go to Heaven through the cleansing blood of our Saviour. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

 THE LIGHT OF LOVE

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

John 8:12
King James Version

Jesus is the light of love in our heart. When people say cruel words to us and do things that hurt us, Jesus shines His light a little brigher to comfort and encourage us. Thank You, Jesus, for caring and for loving us unconditionally. I love You and I long for the day when I will see You face to face.

 ALWAYS

"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
King James Version

Hurricane season will be here in a couple of months but we have a hurricane season that is always with us and we don't have any warning.

Have you ever had a day when everything is going wonderful and all of a sudden, without any warning at all, someone says something cruel or dose something cruel to you? That is satan trying his best to discourage us from serving Jesus.

We must not that happen. We must stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us. Nothing would make satan any happier than if we stop serving Jesus.

Heavenly Father, I pray for all who are lonely and discouraged. Please comfort and encourage them as You have done for me so many times.

I pray for every man, every woman, every boy and every girl who has never given their heart and life to Jesus. May today be the day they invite Jesus into their heart. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

 A NEW DAY

"She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

John 8:11
King James Version

Jesus loves us and He doesn't condemn us when we sin. If you are reading this, it is a new day we have to serve Him. Don't let satan lie to you and tell you Jesus doesn't love you or forgive you.

We have a loving Saviour Who loves us so much He died for you. Forget about yesterday and serve Jesus today. If you're not serving Him, why aren't you? Jesus left His Fahter, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die for you.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much You gave Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins so we can go to Heaven when we die. I pray for all who are lonely and hurting. Please comfort and encourage them as You have done for me so many times. Thank You. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
