Jesus What a friend for sinners

Hallelujah what a savior, Hallelujah what a friend, saving, helping, keeping, loving.  He is with me to the end! 

Let me hide myself in HIM!

Jesus lover of my soul!  What a strength in weakness!

Jesus what a help in sorrow,even when my heart is breaking he my comfort helps my soul!

Jesus what a guide and keeper!

He has granted me forgiveness!   I am his and he is mine!  AMEN!!

Today I want to share this song that was placed on my lap.  I am taking a class and this is one of the songs they spoke about so I u tubed it and pulled out some of the lyrics that struck my heart.  Take a minute and listen to it yourself.....

....I think the thing that struck me most was the name Jesus.  Jesus is the answer! Jesus saves!  Jesus loves!  Jesus keeps! Jesus forgives! Then the phrase He is mine and I am His!  Powerful!

The questions I sometimes ask are do I worship Him just in church?  Do I worship Him when things are good?  Do I worship Him when no one is looking?  Does my life show that I am His and He is mine?

Can I be His when my heart runs after the things of this world?  Sure we will struggle with sin until Jesus comes again but where is my heart devoted too?

My husband and I are wrestling with one question  (one among many) What does it look like to love the Lord your God with all your heart soul mind and strength?   As I type that question the song Jesus what a friend for sinners comes to mind. Could the answer be Jesus?  Where is my focus?  What does my heart desire?  Who does my soul yearn for?  Where does my mind go with my thoughts?  Where does my strength come from? 

I am thinking each of these questions can be answered with one word Jesus!  WOW!  It all comes back to Jesus!  In good times we thank him!  In hard times we run to him!  He is a friend of sinners and He is waiting for His children to turn their focus (heart) to him! We, left to ourselves can do nothing.  It really is all about Him!

Where does your heart run?

Forgiveness

Good Morning! I was thinking about "love" this morning as I sat with my cup of coffee and my paper and waited on the Lord. Last weeks verse was about being able to love because Christ loved us first.  Do you find loving people we like is pretty easy and it is even kind of easy to love those we don't like.  We can be the first to love someone but the question I had for myself was... ...how come I can't be the first to forgive someone.   Forgiveness is a place I can get stuck! Loving seems easy compared to forgiveness.  I think they may go hand in hand. This weeks verse is from Colossians 3:13  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievenaces you may have aginst one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you It sounds so easy as you "read" it in your Bible!  It sounds so easy as you "think" about forgiveness.  Can it be easy if we stay in step with the spirit as we walk through our day?  Is forgiveness supposed to be hard for us so

The Royal Wedding and Psalm 145

I was listening to the radio yesterday and the question they asked was, "Why would you want to watch the royal wedding?"  A few callers called in with a few reasons with one of those being... ...It is kind of like a girls super bowl.  The second thought someone had phone in was that if we compared it to King David and Bible times we could understand the royalty of that time in scripture.  One of the callers suggested that we read Psalm 145 in comparison of this royal day.  I have to admit I really had no intention of watching the event at all.  My husband and I figured we would just stay in bed a little longer because the news and weather wouldn't be one anyways.  But our internal alarm clocks went off and we found ourselves watching the event and the cars and the guests coming and being announced as they approached the church. The cheering was so loud and as Kate approached I found myself a little excited and caught up in the "princess" part of the day.  T
