AMAZED

"She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

John 8:11
King James Version

Charles H. Gabriel wrote a beautiful hymn that describes how I feel about my precious Saviour and how much I love Him and appreciate Him. "I Stand Amazed in the Presence".

"I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene And wonder how He could love me, A sinner, condemned, unclean. He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own; He bore the burden to Calvary, And suffered and died alone."

Before I gave my heart and life to Jesus, I was a very angry, selfish and hateful person. I only thought about myself and hated everyone. I blamed everyone for the problems I had in my life.

I was disobedient and disrespectful to my parents and one time I was so angry I said to my Mother "I hate you". I have cried many times because I hurt her so much by saying that to her.

I apologized to her many times but once you say something to people that hurts them the words can't be taken back. We might as well plunge a knife into their heart because it hurts as much.

Yes, I am amazed that Jesus loves me after everything I have done in my life that hurt Him and other people. If someone asks you who Jesus is, tell them Jesus is Love, unconditional love!

O how I love Jesus! He is the Joy of my heart and the reason I get out of bed and wonder of wonders He love me. Always remember, you are loved by the Saviour of the world.
