HARD TO BREATHE

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.”

Matthew 9: 35 King James Version

I have a terrible cold which has settled in my chest making it difficult to breathe. I think as Jesus hung on the cross that heartbreaking day, it was very difficult for Him to breathe. Eventually, I’ll get over my cold but Jesus didn’t get well that day. He died for us and shed His precious atoning blood so that we may be saved and live with Him for eternity.

One day, we will suffer and hurt no more. The trumpet will sound with a victorious blast and Jesus will come back for us. When we see Jesus face to face, it will indeed be worth it all. What a privilege and honor to be able to look in the eyes of my blessed Saviour. He, who had never done anything wrong in His life allowed Himself to be crucified on a cross of torture and shame so that we may be saved. What amazing unconditional love from the heart of Jesus!

If you have never allowed Jesus to heal you from bitterness, resentment, hatred, unforgiveness, harshness, anger, criticism and sarcasm, open your heart today and let Him deposit His cleansing healing blood in your heart. Unless our hearts are healed and in right standing with Him, we will never see Him face to face or live with Him. We will spend all eternity with satan.

Thank God for His provision for us in the gift of His Son to us. As we celebrate Thanksgiving in a couple of days we truly have a reason for which to be thankful, and His name is Jesus! Have you made room for Jesus in your heart and life?
