HIS LOVE

“O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.  Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.”

Psalms 95:1, 2 

King James Version

Rev. Francis Bottome wrote the hymn “Let Us Sing of His Love”.  I love these words in this beautiful hymn.  “Even now while we taste of His love We are filled with delight at His name; But what will it be when above We shall join in the song of the Lamb.”

I have always wanted to sing in a choir so many years ago, I joined the choir at the church I was attending.  After the first rehearsal, I was asked to leave the choir because I was told I was singing off key and making everyone else sound bad also.

I was hurt and I cried but I asked God to help me and He comforted me.  One of the things that really upsets me is when God has given someone the ability to sing and that person does not sing.  God has been very good to me and comforted me.

One day I will sing in the Heavenly choir and I won’t be asked to leave the choir.  The tears are rolling down my cheeks as I type this to know that one happy day I will see my precious Saviour face to face.  I am going to hug Him and sing to Him for eternity.

Think about it!  We are going to have the privilege of seeing Jesus face to face.  Are you shouting with happiness?  Carrie E. Breck wrote a beautiful hymn “Face to Face with Christ, my Savior”.  I love the words in this heart touching hymn.

“Face to face—oh, blissful moment! Face to face—to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ who loves me so.”  When I think about seeing Jesus face to face, I feel like I am going to explode with happiness.  I am going to hug Him and tell Him how much I love Him and appreciate Him.

Are you going to spend eternity in Heaven with Jesus?  Has there ever been a time in your life when you admitted you were a sinner, asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour?  If not, I urge you, I plead with you to do it today before it is too late.  One day it will be too late.

Don’t miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much that He allowed them to spit on Him, curse Him, beat Him beyond recognition and pound nails into His precious hands for your sins and for my sins.  Your family and friends can’t do it for you as much as they love you.

Salvation is personal between you and Jesus.  For some people, Jesus has been knocking at the door of their heart for years and they have refused to open the door of their heart and let Him come in.  “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20).

Heavenly Father, I pray that You will melt hearts that have refused to open the door to Jesus.  I pray for every man, for every woman, for every boy and every girl that has never invited Jesus into their heart to be their personal Saviour.  May today be the day they say yes to Jesus.  Please encourage and comfort every pastor who is preaching the good news of Jesus.  I love You, dear Father.  Thank You for all You have done for me.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
