I See Jesus!
"He that hath my
commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and
he that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself to him."
John 14:21
People today are always searching for
something to fulfill their lives with the happiness, joy,
and contentment that are missing. I have heard it said that
we were created with emptiness and a void that only God
Himself can fill. There are many who have tried to fill this
void with complications of another person or loved ones such
as children. No doubt, they tried all the pleasures money,
fame, and fortune provided but to no avail. People do not
understand that it is only the true and living God of Heaven
that is their remedy for this loneliness and sometimes,
despair that comes upon the weary heart while traveling the
journey of life. I did not understand until after I received
Christ as my Saviour that God has a very special interest in
me. I discovered that Jesus longs for fellowship with every
individual on this planet. I am glad that God arranged for
someone with a burden for lost souls to cross my path in
life and share the Good News of the Gospel with me. When I
received Jesus as my Saviour, my search in life was over.
Today, I am complete. I have the living Word of God that I
can console my heart every time I sit down with the Word.
Christ Jesus comes along side and puts His arm around my
shoulder, filling me with joy and happiness that is second
to none. It is not hard to recognize His presence when you
desire His presence. I found that Jesus would not stay very
long, where He is not wanted. Christ comes to those souls
that are longing for something rock solid and substantial.
Christ Jesus is that Rock of Salvation.
What disturbs me most today is seeing people
claiming to be Christians while trying to fill their lives
with materialistic wealth and social standing. There is
something amiss with this venture. I fear that so many that
professes Christ is just that, a profession and not a
possession. Therefore, the emptiness is still there. They
believe that religion will save them. It is a shame that
many individuals sit on the church pews today that know not
God, yet put on a good show. They may possibly fool the ones
around them; however, God is nobody’s fool. I pray that they
too can experience the Jesus I have come to know before it
is eternally too late. I see Jesus in the written Word. I
see Jesus in the lives of so many that calls upon His
precious name. I encourage you to call upon His name,
whisper His name, and you will see Him too as He lights up
your heart with unspeakable joy. Just being in His presence
makes my entire day brighter. I know in my heart that I am
loved and cherished by the very one that makes me what I am.
Now, I have purpose in life.
Let us pray:
Holy Father, I praise you for another day. I
praise you for your love and attention to my personal life.
I have to admit that there is nothing in this world like
knowing that you love me and want to be with me for all
eternity. No one loves me in the fashion that you love me.
No one else has the ability to save me from my self and
establish my ways in this life and the life to come. I
praise you for my heath and the health of my loved ones
around me today. I pray Father, that you will cleanse me and
sanctify me for your personal use. Please make me a blessing
to someone today that I may bring honor and glory to your
name. Father, please give me a burden for those who are lost
and looking for something to fill their soul’s void. Lead me
and guide me to others so that I can pass the Gospel of
Christ to others. I praise you for every opportunity that
comes my way. Go with me in this day and give us safety in
Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
