What Draws Us Close

By

h. lena jones

 

 

It’s exciting to read about

Jesus’ early ministry and miracles

Set out in the gospels, particularly Luke

His patient response when called upon

Unhurried, yet reassuring, confident, enduring

Even when rejected and asked to leave

No argument does He ever make!

 

If you and I were present back then

We would stick like glue to His side

Eager to learn, ready to feast

Upon His every word

We would marvel at the power

Of this gentle man

And long to be more like Him

We would probably be quick to defend Him

And point out to those who condemn Him

That even demons recognize Him

As the Holy One of God

So what is there to doubt

About His deity!

 

What draws us close to Jesus?

His positive, reassuring nature

His gentleness and strength

His genuine care and concern

But most of all

It’s because of His unconditional love

For each one of us…even though

We do not deserve it!

 

“…Thou art my beloved Son

in thee I am well pleased.”

(Luke 3:22)

I could only pray that if I had been here when Jesus walked with us I would have been one of his chosen twelve. I could only pray it would not be Judas.
That was a wonderful write.
God Bless,
Lew

Everlasting Arms...to hold me when I am weary, and can't go on

Peace...that surpasses my understanding, in the midst of crises.

Hope of Glory...Jesus CHRIST, in me; proof I will share His glory one day!

Healing & Deliverance...Jesus, by Whom, every curse is reversed

Strength...I can do all things, through CHRIST, Who strengthens me

Love, love, love...Unfailing Love.

This could last for hours, Precious Lena, so I will just say thank you for your beautiful heart and faithfulness to our LORD.

I love you, my dear, dear Sister. xo Rhonda

Knowing that He will never leave me or forsake me, and also understanding that He will do so even in spite of myself.

Knowing that He is the One True Most High God, Creator of all, and everything else is beneath His feet.

Knowing He hears and understands every problem, and brain fart, we have, and He sends the answer even before we ask.

The list is extensive ... these were the first three that came to mind.

Great write from a woman of unwavering faith ...
