HIS TENDER COMPASSIONATE HEART

“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.”

Matthew 9:36 {King James Version}

One of the definitions for shepherd in Webster’s Dictionary is “to guide or guard as in the manner of a shepherd”. Isn’t that what Jesus does for us? He guides and guards us. However, not only is Jesus the shepherd of our lives, He is also the shepherd of our hearts. He protects us from the attacks of satan.

Jesus has a tender loving heart. It is a heart that is filled with unconditional love and compassion for us. There is no one like Jesus. No one loves us like He loves us. He loves us so much that He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and died for us on a cross of horror and excruciating pain.

To know that Jesus, the Saviour of the world, loves us so much that He died for us should fill our hearts to overflowing with gratitude and happiness. If He loves us so much that He died for us, we should also love Him so much that we will die for Him.

Are you willing to surrender your life, your heart and everything you have to Jesus? Have you surrendered your life to Him? It should be the desire of every Christian to serve Him. How much do you love Him? Do you love Him enough to give your life in service to Him?
