DO THEY SEE AND HEAR JESUS IN US

“Little children, yet a little while I am with you.  Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one to another.”

John 13:33-35 KJV

Jesus, the Saviour of the world has told us to love one another as He loves us.  Can we honestly say from our heart that we love one another unconditionally as He loves us?  Jesus didn’t say He wishes we would love one another.  He said that it is a commandment.  May God help us to love one another.

When people look at us or hear us talking, do they see and hear Jesus in us?  We can’t smile every minute of the day because all of us have valleys and heartaches in our life but if we have invited Jesus into our heart to be our personal Saviour, He is still with us even when we are going through dark valleys.

A man said in a testimony “I am saved today because of my mother.  I not only saw her on her knees, I heard her praying for me.  My mother isn’t perfect but even when she was going through crises, heartaches and dark valleys she still had a smile for everyone”.  Only Jesus can help us smile when we are sad.

Does our family see the difference Jesus has made in our heart and life since we invited Him into our heart?  O that you and I would live in such a way that even when we are heartbroken and feel like we can’t give another smile or take another step they would see Jesus in us.  What a loving Saviour we have!
