Jesus. Jesus and you!

Establish the Love of Jesus in your heart.

Jesus loves you but do you love Jesus? Have you come to the realisation in your life yet, that Jesus is everything to you, and that nothng else in life really matters? To say you love Jesus, is not just a matter of saying a couple of words, but it is the end result of a the process of a relationship that you build up.

Love is such an easy word to say today, and people tend to repeat the words "I love you", far too easily without taking the full effect of the words into consideration. Love is something that you choose to do for someone and is not an emotion, but rather something that you choose to do. When you say to someone that you love them, what you are really saying is that you choose to do anything for them, to benefit them, at your own cost.

When you say to Jesus that you love Him, you are in fact telling Him that you are willing to do anything that He asks you to do, and anything else that you feel would benefit Him, at your own cost. Do you love Jesus?

James 5:7-8 " Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts ,for the coming of the Lord is at hand."

When I looked at this scripture, even though I have read it a million times, it suddenly dawned upon me as to why some of our requests and prayers have not yet been met. First the scripture says that we have to be patient. Many have been patient a long time, and yet their prayers still go unanswered. Then it says "Establish your hearts". What exactly does the word establish mean? I decided to look it up and this is the explanation or definition of the word establish:-

1) a) To set up or found.

     b) To bring about or generate.

2) a) To place or settle in a secure position, to install.

     b) To make firm or secure.

3) To cause to be recognised and accepted.

4) To introduce and put into force.

5) To prove the validity or truth of.

6) To make a state institution of a church.

Have you established the love of Jesus in your heart. Be patient therefore, and establish your love for Jesus before the world by following these steps carefully.

1) Accept Jesus into your life and confess Him as Lord and Saviour before others.

2) Repent and be baptised in water for the remission of your sins.

3) Be baptised with fire in the Holy Spirit.

4) Read your bible to obtain strength and character in your life.

5) Obey his commandments (Deuteronomy 28)

Be patient and establish Jesus as Lord of your life and as the first love of your life.
