IS THERE SOMETHING

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;”

Titus 2:11, 12

King James Version

Rev. Charles A. Tindley wrote the hymn “Nothing Between”.  “Nothing between my soul and my Savior, Naught of this world’s delusive dream; I have renounced all sinful pleasure; Jesus is mine, there’s nothing between.”  Is there something between our soul and our Saviour?  If we have allowed unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, jealousy, hatred and criticism to remain in our heart, then these are things that hurt Jesus and break His heart and there is something between our soul and our Saviour.

May God help us to love one another unconditionally just as He loves us.  Jesus is ours if we have invited Him into our heart to be our personal Saviour but are we His?  Have we given Him first place in our heart, in our time, in our activities and in all that we do?  Someone said “My schedule is so full, I don’t have time for devotions”.  If our schedule is so busy we don’t have time for Jesus, we are too busy and we need to rearrange our schedule so Jesus comes first.

Heavenly Father, I ask You to please search my heart.  If there is anything in my heart that hurts You, please forgive me.  I pray for every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour.  Please encourage them and let them know how much You appreciate their service to You.  I pray for my Pastor, Pastor Davis.  Please encourage him, protect him and let him know how much You love him.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
