PILLOW OF LOVE

“When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”

Proverbs 3: 24 King James Version

I used to hate going to bed at night because I had insomnia. I could not sleep no matter what I did and I even took sleeping pills off and on for years. I would toss and turn and think about all kinds of negative things. I was not serving Jesus at that time and my heart was not right with Him. Once I asked Him to forgive me for the things that I was saying and doing that made Him unhappy, a peace and joy flooded my heart. Now, I have no trouble sleeping. In fact, I look forward to going to bed because I put my head on a pillow of love.

Jesus is our pillow of Love. He gently and tenderly holds us close to His Heart of Love. When He was here on earth, He didn’t have any place comfortable to sleep. He Loves us so much that He gives us His pillow of Love so that we may sleep safely in His arms. What a wonderful Saviour we serve!

If you are having trouble sleeping at night, instead of counting sheep and thinking about all the negative things of the day, talk to Jesus. Start praising Him and singing to Him. He will fill you with a peace and joy that you have never known. Tell Him how much you appreciate Him. Start thanking Him for everything He has done for you. We could thank Him for the rest of our lives and never name everything that He does for us.

Do you have this precious pillow of Love in your heart? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? Does just thinking about Him fill you with an excitement and joy? We are Loved by the Master, Himself, and that should fill us with awe and wonder.
