TENDER LOVING HEARTS
“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;”
Psalm 103:1,4
(King James Version)
In this world of violence and turmoil, there are so many people who are hurting emotionally and are heartbroken. I think if we are honest with ourselves, there has been a time in all of our lives when we were hurting and heartbroken.
If ever people needed to know that Jesus loves them, it is now. It is only when they see the love of Jesus in our smiles and hear Him in our words and see Him in our actions that they will believe that He loves them.
We need to have tender loving hearts so that we can love people the way Jesus has commanded us to love them. The prayer of every Christian should be “Heavenly Father, please give me a tender loving heart”.
Joyce Landorf Heatherley, a Christian speaker and author, said on one of her teaching tapes when she was talking about the people we sit next to in church. “They look fine and they look darling, but inside they are hurting”.
Heavenly Father, please fill our hearts with more compassion for others. Please touch and encourage those who are hurting. May they feel Your love for them like they never have before. I pray that we will be encouragers to everyone we see. Amen.
