Something every heart is loving

“When I hated, Thou didst love me”

A biography of my life. Oh what a Savior we have!!

I have enjoyed singing this hymn often these days in particular during this pandemic. Three tremendous points reverberate in my spirit each time I consider the lines: “He alone is a joy to me. ” Jesus the lovely Person, is the only real true joy in this whole universe. “Is the glory of Thy face. ” There is nothing brighter, nothing more attractive or precious than the face of Jesus Christ. “Of my hidden life in Thee” Our existence and our real life is hidden with Christ in God. Amen

Keep my heart still faithful to Thee,
That my earthly life may be
But a shadow to that glory
Of my hidden life in Thee.

Every third and fourth line of each stanza is my favorite!

"Still Thou lovest, lovest ever,

Shall I not love Thee, my God?"

When we touch the Lord and the love He has for us, we have an automatic response within to love Him and give our life to Him. “Lord my heart to Thee is given” Everything else fades in comparison. I’m so thankful that every day we can touch the Lord in His beauty and every day He can draw us more into Himself and bring us further into His glory.

This hymn has been coursing through my inner being for weeks now.

How wonderful and glorious it is that we can give our heart to Him as a consecrated offering, "Please do take it Lord, it truly loves Thee best".

You know what? Everything in this world may seem to be beautiful to us, yes! they may be but God the Lord is most beautiful. Hallelujah!!!
