AT THE CROSS
"You know that I love You " - (John 21:17). Jesus
knows that our hearts are overflowing with love for Him. Our vision is clarified,
and we are able to see Christ as He really is: "The man of sorrows, well-
acquainted with grief." His heart of infinite love gazes tenderly at us.
This experience transforms our lives, and we cry out: "Jesus, I love You.
I just have to love You. I can do no other. I surrender my heart and my life to
You. I give all that I am, and all that I have to You. I do this for You,
because I love You." True love will never desert Christ. This is the mark
of overflowing love.
Jesus is the only One who can make us truly happy. He is the
only One who can satisfy the deepest desires of our hearts. Even if we have
everything else in this world, we will not be satisfied. Christ is the most
precious of all, and without Him, we will be lonely and in despair. He is the
only One who really understands us in our hearts. He knows and understands us,
since He created us. Jesus knows instinctively what affects our souls. He knows
what makes our tears flow and our hearts ache. He understands every pain and
sorrow that we feel. He knows the weight of each burden that we bear. Christ is
the only One who can help us in our trials and difficulties.
We must have Jesus in our hearts. He gives our lives
ultimate fulfillment. We were made for Him. He alone satisfies our deepest
needs. We cannot live without Him. Christ is the only One who can make us happy
with His love. He gives us so much joy and peace that even suffering cannot
affect us. Jesus can do for us what we, with our weak human natures, cannot do
for ourselves. He helps us to live fruitful lives that will bless others and make
them happy. Let us seek Christ with all our hearts. We must be cleansed by His
precious blood.
We want to be with Jesus at all costs. He will share His
joy, peace and love with us. He is the true source of every blessing in our
lives. Where can we find Christ? At the cross, which is the hallmark of His
love. Jesus sees us through the blood that He shed for us. We become one with
Him. Love unites us at the cross. Let us wait lovingly at the cross, the scene
of Christ's supreme sacrifice. Where is He whom we love? We will find Jesus at
the cross, alone and lonely, in need of our precious love and fellowship. Let
us stay with Christ out of love for Him. Jesus is one with us, and love's
crowning glory begins to shine. United to Him, we receive His love, comfort,
understanding and sympathy. Heavenly joy and blessings are ours to share. Peace
flows into our hearts, and we will share in Christ's victory and glory.
