HAVE YOU COME TO JESUS

“Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.  Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.”

Psalms 130:1,2 KJV

Pastor William True Sleeper wrote “Jesus, I Come”.  “Out of my bondage, sorrow, and night, Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come; Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light, Jesus, I come to Thee; Out of my sickness, into Thy health, Out of my want and into Thy wealth, Out of my sin and into Thyself Jesus, I come to Thee.”

Have you come to Jesus for help?  I have many times.  What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know that we can come to Jesus when we are hurting and need Him.  The question we need to answer is “Do I go to Jesus just to tell Him how much I love and appreciate Him?

I think sometimes we treat Jesus like He is a puppet and only take Him down when we need something.  Jesus is the “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” and He is to be treated with respect.  Do you realize that it is a privilege to be loved by the Saviour of the world?  O how He loves you.

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for the times we take Jesus for granted and neglect to tell Him how much we love Him.  I know that it hurts You to see how Your Son is treated at times.  Heavenly Father, I pray for all who are discouraged, please encourage them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
