DO THEY SEE HIM

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 KJV

Early this morning as I listened with joy in my heart and tears in my eyes to Sandi Patty and Larnelle Harris singing the beautiful heart touching hymn “I’ve Just Seen Jesus” on a Gaither Video, I got so excited because one day I will have the privilege of seeing Jesus face to face.  How I long for that day!

My heart’s desire is to make Jesus happy.  I want others to always see Jesus in my smiles and hear His love for them in what I say to them.  All of us should want others to see Jesus in us.  Do they see Him in us?  There are many people who are lonely and hurting and they don’t believe anyone loves them.

I know this is true because for over forty years I really believed nobody loved me or cared if I lived or died.  I didn’t know Jesus loves me.  No one had ever said to me “Joanne, Jesus loves you”.  If someone had told me that Jesus loves me, I don’t believe I would have gone through that crippling depression.

It is very important that our children see Jesus in us and that our family sees the difference Jesus has made in our heart and life since we invited Him into our heart.  Do our children know we love Jesus by the kind words we say and the kind things we do?  May God help us to lead our children to Jesus.
