SINGING FROM OUR HEART

“We love him, because he first loved us.”

1 John 4:19 KJV

William Ralph Featherstone wrote one of my favorite hymns “My Jesus, I Love Thee”.  When we sing this hymn, are we singing the words from our heart or are we just singing the words?  O how we should love Him.  Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth to die for our sins.

Knowing that our precious Saviour loves us and that He loves us unconditionally should fill our hearts with joy and happiness.  What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world.  It is a privilege just to say His precious name.  Jean Perry wrote a heart touching hymn about Jesus “I Know of a Name”.

I love these words in this beautiful hymn.  “That beautiful name, that beautiful name, From sin has power to free us! That beautiful name, that wonderful name, That matchless name is Jesus!”  O how I love Jesus.  He is the Joy of my heart and He makes life fun, exciting and worth living.

Heavenly Father, You have been so good to me.  Thank You for adopting me into Your family.  Thank You for the many times You have comforted and encouraged me.  I pray for every person who is discouraged, hurting, and lonely and heart broken.  Please comfort them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
