THE STAPLER OF LOVE

“Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him.”

Mark 5: 4 - 6 King James Version

As I was sitting at the desk in my office this morning, I saw the stapler and the thought came to me that Jesus staples the fragmented parts of our heart and lives together with His stapler of love. We have so many different emotions in our hearts and so many different circumstances in our lives but He brings them into unity and staples them into one piece and makes us whole.

I have a lot of papers that I need to staple together. However, they are so thick that my stapler won’t staple them. I need to purchase a heavy duty stapler so it will accept and staple all of them together at once. Jesus is our heavy duty stapler. We are unable to bring the fragmented parts of our hearts and lives into one piece. It takes Jesus working in our hearts and lives to do it.

Do you know this precious stapler of love? Does Jesus live in your heart? Have you felt the joy, peace, happiness, excitement, comfort and encouragement that only He can give us? He so longs to staple your heart together into one piece so that you will have the peace that passes all understanding; the peace that nobody or nothing can take away from you. Give your heart and life to the one who gave His life for you. He Loves you so much and longs to hold you in His arms of understanding, compassion and tenderness. He will never leave you, not even for a minute. He will hold your hand and walk with you.
