DO YOU KNOW

“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.”

1 Timothy 1:12 KJV

Evangelist Daniel Webster Whittle wrote one of my favorite hymns “I Know Whom I Have Believed”.  I love these words in this inspiring hymn.  “But I know Whom I have believèd, And am persuaded that He is able To keep that which I’ve committed Unto Him against that day.”  What an inspiring hymn!

Do you know Jesus?  How much time do you spend with Him during the day?  If we spend more time watching television or doing things that take away from the time we should be spending with Him, we are hurting Him and breaking His heart.  Jesus deserves to have first place in our heart and in our time.

Do you know how much Jesus loves you?  You may be saved and have read the entire Bible but have you allowed it to enter your heart how much Jesus loves you?  Do you know He allowed them to pound nails into His hands and spit on Him and curse and mock Him for you?

Heavenly Father, I pray for every person who reads this that You would help them understand how much they are loved.  I pray for every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour.  Please encourage them, comfort them, and let them know how much You love them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
