John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you.
If you are not spending time with the Lord, you may not recognize His nearness or question who you heard. “Was it the Lord or me?” Beloved, know Him before you need Him.
When you do not recognize the Lord’s love and care, this can damage your heart. Your heart can become hardened toward the things of God, especially His word.
Being in this state makes it harder to love others. So loving Jesus causes our love to be complete in others.
Isaiah 49:15-16 Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will never forget you. Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands.
Remember, those nails went through the palms of His hands for our sins. Where your name and my name were inscribed. How can we not love Him and spend time with the Lord Jesus Christ.
