Who shall

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword" (‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭35‬ KJV)? It is up to you and I to serve Jesus. Each day we have a choice to follow Christ and serve Him. It is up to us and no one else. This must be taken serious, for it is our souls that are on the line and eternity is on the horizon. It is easy to walk away from someone or something that we are not emotionally, physically, and spiritually attached to. However, it isn't so easy when our hearts go out to someone or we have worked hard for something and have to let it go. I know a little boy who loves his dad dearly. When his father comes and visits him, the boy will not take his eyes off his dad nor will he leave his side, hoping that one day his father won't have to go away. When his father has to leave, this little boy will try everything to keep him in his presence. The father soon walks down the street and the little boy runs out of the house and cries out for his daddy. You may ask what does this have to do with us serving Jesus every day. Well, we must be as that little boy. He has a strong desire to be with his father, a desire far greater than to be with anyone else. We must long for our Lord's presence in our lives, not only in church but every where we go and in everything we do. What love the Lord has for you and I. He wishes to be in our hearts at all times. He hopes that we soon will feel the same strong desire for Him too. God bless you. Amen
