Dear precious Jesus, for those who know, love and serve You, life is so blessed by our interactive relationship, that saves us from sin and death, and then sustains us all through each difficulty and trial. Because of Your deep unchanging love for every person who has ever lived upon earth You gave all for us the opportunity of eternal life, through Your death. When we are truly in love with You, we can only respond with our whole heart, no matter the cost, or trial. All true love comes from You, and so when we have it within, we can do no less, than express this love to all we meet. Matthew 10:32, 33 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.” I so much want a new heart, and a pure love for You that is expressed through Your leading.
In thankfulness and love, I meditate upon some of the recorded words of Jesus, and other portions of scripture. Matthew 10: 29 – 31 “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” These words Just now are so welcome and needed for me to dwell upon and absorb into my very being, and thereby be comforted and sustained. I am so glad; these are only a few of the texts within scripture that give relief and comfort; for I have read many more.
When I pray, praise and intercede, I know heaven loves to receive my prayers, as well as answer them, when they are in God’s infinite will. Jesus knew the value of prayer, and sometimes spent whole nights in prayer with His Father, before embarking upon the busy day with many people coming to Him. How little we sometimes pray during the day, in comparison, to our lovely Lord Jesus? But as we determine to keep Jesus in our prayerful thoughts all through the day, the direction and blessings come as promised. In the words of Jesus, Luke 18: 1 “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.” Verse 27”but He said, ‘the things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Thank You Jesus for your tender love, as I am lead closer to You.
Amen
