Jesus makes us a royal offer of love. "If anyone thirsts, let Him come to Me and drink " - (John 7:37). Jesus offers us His undivided love. It is a total and complete love. In it, we will find everything to make us happy. We can take His Word for it, and accept His kind-hearted offer. It is an offer of Himself. He gives us Himself in love. In order to accept Him, we must empty our hearts completely of everything that fills it. Jesus cannot pour His love into a heart that is already filled with other things. He looks for an empty heart, so that He can fill it with His love.
The love of Jesus is our most precious
treasure. It is totally priceless. It is the most valuable gift in all the
world. Let us surrender our hearts to Jesus. He must become our true love. The
love of Jesus surpasses everything in this world. Jesus seeks hearts aglow with
love for Him. He knocks on the door of our hearts. Will we let Him in? Jesus
wants to give us His love. He also longs to receive our love. Jesus needs our
undivided love. He wants the whole of us, the complete person, with no holds
barred. Only our full and total love will satisfy Him. There are no half
measures with Christ. Jesus sees our whole hearts. We must not hurt Him by
withholding a part of our love. We must give Jesus our all. He gave His all for
us. Love for Jesus must motivate us to give Him our very best. Love inspires us
to surrender all to Him.
Jesus asks: "Will you give Me your
undivided love? Do you really love Me? How much am I worth to you? When you
give Me your heart, your love and your
life, you are giving Me everything. You are My heart's desire, and I love
you." Christ wants us to share the cares and concerns of His tender heart.
He wants us to live up to our calling. We must identify with Him and the burden
of His sufferings. When we give Jesus our love, He is comforted, and we are
satisfied. Jesus wants our complete love and our total dedication. He knocks
ever so gently on the door of our hearts, anxiously waiting to see if we will
let Him in. Jesus adorns us with His beauty, and reflects His loveliness in us.
He is the Divine Potter. He shapes us painstakingly into a vessel that is
worthy of His love.
Jesus views us through His perfect love. He
adores us, and He will never leave us on our own. Jesus is by our side always,
our loving Companion, who is completely responsible for us. He paid the
ultimate price for us after all. Only we can satisfy the deepest longings of
Christ's tender heart. Is it not amazing that the Creator of the Universe
desires our love. It is really and truly incredible. It is totally humbling.
"I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the
door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with me"- (Revelation
3:20).
