I was listening to the precious Christian hymn below on youtube yesterday. I played it repeatedly when the Lord began speaking to me about how much of Him He’s brought into my life.
For decades, I didn’t have His life in me. I didn’t have the desire to praise and thank Him in all things. I always gave into sudden fear attacks, couldn’t begin to conceive that He was working all things together for my good, and so much more.
I’m so thankful for the reality of His love and character that He bestows on those who are lost but seeking Him the best they know how.
Because Jesus has rescued me from a sin-filled life of worry, unforgiveness, bitterness and confusion, I KNOW He lives.
Now, He walks with me and He talks with me every day. And, I’ve found that there’s nothing like Jesus. To have the assurance of His love in my life has made all the difference in the world for me. I’ve never known such peace. Knowing that He’s working all things together for my good and that He’ll never leave me nor forsake me is so wonderful and beyond words of gratitude.
Stay with Jesus through all the stormy blasts this life can throw at us. Let Him lead in your life and He’ll bring His abiding Presence into every area of your life.
He Lives
Christian Hymn by Alfred Ackley
I serve a risen Saviour, He’s in the world today
I know that He is living, whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him He’s always near
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
In all the world around me I see His loving care
And though my heart grows weary I never will despair
I know that He is leading, through all the stormy blast
The day of His appearing will come at last
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ, the King
The Hope of all who seek Him, the Help of all who find
None other is so loving, so good and kind
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
Truly, you ask me how I know Jesus lives? Because He’s now living within my heart. Oh, hallelujah!
God bless,
Mark
