“Let the words of my mouth, and the mediation
of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and
my redeemer.”
Psalm 19:14
King James Version
When we see something that is funny, we look at our family and friends
to see if they are sharing the laughter with us. Sometimes when
the pastor says something funny in his sermon we look at one another
and smile.
I think that God and Jesus look at one another and smile when we
do something that pleases Them. What kind of look are They giving
each other concerning you? Is it a look of happiness or a look of
sorrow?
Are you doing and saying things to bring happiness to the Heart
of Jesus? Jesus has done so much for us and asks so little of us.
He gave His very Life for us. His commandments are not that difficult
to keep if we truly love Him as He wants us to love Him.
How about the things you are watching on television and the places
you go and the friends that you have? Is your life bringing a smile
to Jesus' Face, or is it bringing tears? If you could see Jesus
in the flesh sitting right by you, would you continue to do the
things that you are doing?
I urge you to search your heart and make room for Jesus. He has
suffered enough, let's not hurt Him any more. I know from personal
experience if you will put Jesus first in every area of your life,
you will be happy even in the midst of trials and heartache.
