ONLY JESUS

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

John 8:36 KJV

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote the beautiful hymn “I’m Free”.  I love these words.  “So long I had searched for life’s meaning, Enslaved by the world and my greed; Then the door of the prison was opened by love, For the ransom was paid, I was freed.”  The words in this hymn describe my life.

“I’m free from the fear of tomorrow; I’m free from the guilt of the past; For I’ve traded my shackles for a glorious song; I’m free, praise the Lord, free at last!”  I went through a devastating crippling depression for over forty years and really believed nobody loved me and I didn’t have  a right to live.

Then one happy day, Jesus came to me as I was lying under a bed in a mental hospital.  He put His arms of compassion around me and lifted me up from under that bed.  He told me that He loves me and would never leave me.  He has kept His Word.  He has never left me, not even for a minute.

I love Jesus with all my heart.  He is the Joy of my heart and the reason I’m living.  Please join me in praising the “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”.  Worthy is the Lamb of God!  All hail, King Jesus!  One day I will see Him face to face.  How I long for that day.  I am going to hug Him and tell Him I love Him.
