THE POWER OF A HUG
“When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping
which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said,
Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept.
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!”
John
11:33-36 KJV
I
believe when Jesus said “Where have ye laid him?” that He hugged her. O the power of a hug! I have a physical therapist that is helping
me do exercises and it is helping but there are times when she gives me a hug
and that hug makes me want to try harder to do what I need to do.
We
need heart specialists. Jesus is the
great heart Specialist but He hasn’t been here for over two thousand
years. We need to hug for Him. When is the last time you hugged someone and
told that person Jesus loves him or her?
You may not be comfortable hugging people so hug them with loving words.
“Jesus
wept” is the shortest verse in the Bible yet it describes the heart of our
precious Saviour. Jesus not only saves
us from our sins, He also saves and protects us from satan and from all those
who criticize, ridicules and condemns us.
What a loving Saviour we are privileged to have! I love Jesus with all my heart.
Heavenly
Father, there are many people who are hurting and broken hearted and they need
Your comforting hugs. You have
encouraged and comforted me countless times and I really appreciate it. Thank You for loving me and for giving me the
privilege of serving Your Son. In Jesus’
Name, I pray. Amen.
