ALONE WITH JESUS

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

Psalms 16:11 KJV

What joy floods my heart when I am alone with Jesus.  Carrie Elizabeth Ellis Breck wrote one of my favorite hymns “Face to Face with Christ, My Savior”.  I love these words.  “Face to face with Christ, my Savior, Face to face—what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ Who died for me.”

Someone said “I can’t wait until the children are in bed so my husband and I can be alone”.  I can honestly say that as much as I love my family and friends, I can’t wait until I am alone with Jesus.  What joy fills my heart as I fellowship with the One Who loves me so much He died for me.

If you have never been alone with Jesus, I urge you to make the time to be alone with Him.  You will never have to worry if Jesus will be in a good mood or if He will yell at you.  We read in the Bible “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8).  Jesus is always in a good mood.
