SPEAKING OF LOVE

"Since, then, we have a great High Priest Who has passed through the
heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our profession of
faith." —Hebrews 4:14

Human beings have a tendency to tell others about those they love. Parents
like to show anyone pictures of their children. Brides-to-be usually can't
say a sentence without speaking of their fiances. For us to tell others
about Jesus, we must simply come to love Him. When we realize He gave up
His life for us (Is 53:10; Mt 20:28), love wells up in our hearts. When we
believe He took on Himself all our sins and guilt (Is 53:11), we're
attracted to this Person Who loves us more than we love ourselves.

Jesus has always been there for us, ready to forgive us and "sympathize
with our weakness" (Heb 4:15). Through Him, we can "confidently approach
the throne of grace to receive mercy and favor and to find help in time of
need" (Heb 4:16). Jesus is amazingly lovable. He is perfect. He will never
reject us (Jn 6:37). He has proven His love. Never let a day go by without
speaking to someone of your love for Jesus.

Prayer: Jesus, may I become ever more preoccupied with loving You.

Promise: "Anyone among you who aspires to greatness must serve the rest;
whoever wants to rank first among you must serve the needs of all." —Mk
10:43-44

Praise: "O Lord our God, You are worthy to receive glory and honor and
power! For You have created all things; by Your will they came to be and
were made!" (Rv 4:11) Alleluia!
