Coming to faith in Jesus Christ means so much more than just
Jesus forgiving us of our sins so that we can go to heaven one day. When we
trust Jesus to be our Lord and Savior, we give our whole heart and devotion to
him to obey him, to forsake our former lives of sin, and to follow him wherever
he leads. He said his sheep hear his voice, they listen, and they follow (obey)
him. When we invite Jesus to be our Lord (owner-master), it means he is now the
boss of our lives, but not just the boss of our lives, for he is our very best
friend.
When he is truly our Lord and our Savior, our desire is for
him to please him in all that we are, and do and say. We want to be his
forever. We yearn to know him better, and to understand what his Word teaches
us, so that we can follow him in truth and in obedience to him and to His Word.
The fellowship we have with him each day in prayer and in his Word is unmatched
by any other. No one else will ever love us like he does. We can always depend
on him to lead, guide, protect, nurture and comfort us daily. He will never
abandon us. He is completely faithful. And, one day he will come again to
receive us to himself.
A Believer’s Prayer /
An Original Work / July 31, 2012
With my whole heart, Lord, I pray
To be Yours, and Yours always.
Lead me in Your truth today.
May I love You, and obey.
Lead me in Your righteousness.
When I sin, may I confess;
Bow before You when I pray;
Live for You and You always.
Love You, Jesus, You’re my friend.
Life with You will never end.
You are with me through each day,
Giving love and peace always.
You will ne’er abandon me.
From my sin You set me free.
You died on that cruel tree,
So I’d live eternally.
Soon You’re coming back for me;
From this world to set me free;
Live with You eternally.
Oh, what joy that brings to me.
I will walk with You in white;
A pure bride, I’ve been made right
By the blood of Jesus Christ;
Pardoned by His sacrifice.
