DO WE LOVE HIM

“And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.”

Malachi 3:17 KJV

Pastor William O. Cushing wrote the hymn “When He Cometh”.  “Little children, little children, Who love their Redeemer, Are the jewels, precious jewels, His loved and His own.”  We can tell people we love Jesus but do we love Him?  Is He first in our heart, in our time and in everything we do?

We can fool people but Jesus can see into our heart and He knows if we are sincere or if we’re just giving Him lip service.  If we do love Him, what are we doing to prove to Him that we love Him?  We can say anything but it’s the things we do that proves to Him how much we love Him.  How much do we love Him?

The level of our service to Jesus depends on our level of love for Him.  Are you serving Jesus?  If not, why aren’t you serving Him?  Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for our sins.  We should be eager to do all we can to serve Jesus and make Him happy.

Heavenly Father, I pray we will get out of our comfort zone and serve Jesus Who left His comfort zone to die for our sins.  Jesus, I love You so much.  Thank You for loving me and for never leaving me.  Heavenly Father, I pray You will comfort all those who are discouraged.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
