WHAT WILL YOU GIVE HIM

“The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

Revelation 4: 10, 11 King James Version

There is a song with the words “must I go and empty handed be”. None of us should go to Jesus empty handed. A lot of people think that they can’t do anything; that they have no talents. I used to feel the same way. I always wanted to sing for Jesus, but God did not give me a professional singing voice. I sing a joyful noise to Him and it is music in His ears. I used to get very upset with people who could sing and wouldn’t do it.

We may not feel comfortable talking about Jesus. We may not feel comfortable hugging people for Jesus, but all of us can smile for Jesus. There is no such thing as a gloomy Christian. If Jesus lives in our hearts, then we should be joyful. That doesn’t mean that we won’t have heartaches and sorrows, but it does mean that others should still see the Love of Jesus shining from us.

Jesus is worthy of our devotion, time, talents and everything that we have because it all belongs to Him. The only thing that we can take with us when we die is the Love of Jesus that we have extended to people. This is what we can give to Jesus when we see Him face to face. We can give Him the love that we had for our loved ones and the world.

What will you give Jesus when you see Him? When He looks at you, will there be a look of happiness or a look of sadness on His face? Will you break the Heart of our wonderful Saviour?
