HE JUST WANTS OUR HEART

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

Revelation 3:20 KJV

I have been feeling a little discouraged because I can’t do all I want to do to serve Jesus.  God knows my heart and He knows it breaks my heart and hurts me because I can’t do more than I do.  However, He knows my heart and He knows how much I love Him and Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

God knows that we aren’t perfect.  He just wants our heart.  If we could be perfect, His beloved Son wouldn’t have had to be beaten beyond recognition, spat on, cursed, mocked, ridiculed and crucified on the cross for our sins.  How do we make God happy?  We make Him happy by serving Jesus.

Jesus knows how it feels to be sad, discouraged, lonely and brokenhearted so He understands when we feel like we are going under for the last time.  When we feel this way, we need to cry out to Jesus and He will be faithful to pick us up and carry us through all the dark valleys in our life.

Not only does Jesus want to come in to our heart and life, He also wants to encourage us, comfort us, carry us and lead us through this life.  I honestly don’t know how I made it without Jesus.  I wasn’t living, I just existed.  He holds our hand and goes with us through every trial and crisis.

What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  Allow Jesus to pick you up in His loving arms and carry you through every crisis and heartache in your life.  He is faithful and He will never leave you, not even for one minute.  O how I love Jesus!
