I love Thee, Jesus

OUR NEED TO BE THE
CRAZY LOVERS OF JESUS
---------------

I want to say again that you need to forget about outward correction, outward improvement, and outward activity. Always pay your full attention to the inner part of your being where Jesus is. Do not try to serve the Lord, work for Him, or do anything for Him. You have to look unto Him so that He would show you all His beauty, His sweetness, and His fairness. This will attract you to love Him. We should say, “Lord Jesus, to me You are so sweet. To me You are so loving and so lovely. Whenever I call on You, I have a sweet sense deep within my being. ” We should have a love toward Jesus that is sweet to our inner sense. We should tell the Lord all the time, “O Lord Jesus, I love You. ”

The Living and Practical
Way to Enjoy Christ
Chapter 3 (LSM)

B. Loved by the
Beloved Disciples
---------------

Although the religionists hated the Lord Jesus, His disciples loved Him (26:6-13). Two of those who loved Him were Simon the leper and Mary, the woman who poured the oil upon His head. A leper signifies a sinner (8:2). Simon, a leper, must have been healed by the Lord. Being grateful to the Lord and loving Him, he spread a feast (26:7) in his house for the Lord and His disciples in order to enjoy His presence. A saved sinner would always do this. Simon must have known that the Lord was about to be killed. He probably realized that this was the last opportunity for him to express his love to the Lord. Therefore, he grasped the opportunity for a further intimate, loving contact with the Lord. He opened his home, spread a feast, and invited the Lord and all of those who loved Him.

Verses 7 and 8 say, “A woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of ointment of great value, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste? ” The disciples considered Mary’s love offering to the Lord a waste. Throughout the past twenty centuries thousands of precious lives, heart treasures, high positions, and golden futures have been wasted upon the Lord Jesus. To those who love Him in such a way, He is altogether lovely and worthy of their offering. What they have poured upon Him is not a waste but a fragrant testimony of His sweetness.

Verse 13 says, “Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. ” In the foregoing verse, the Lord spoke of His burial, implying His death and resurrection for our redemption. Hence, in this verse He called the gospel “this gospel, ” referring to the gospel of His death, burial, and resurrection (1 Cor. 15:1-4). The story of the gospel is that the Lord loved us, and the story of Mary is that she loved the Lord. We must preach both, the Lord loving us and us loving the Lord. One is for our salvation, and the other is for our consecration. The gospel tells us how the Lord loved us, but the loving story of Mary stirs us up to love the Lord. Thus, there needs to be a mutual love. This must accompany the preaching of the gospel.

Message 68 (LSM)

I love Thee, Jesus!! Your love draws me ever to seek Thee and run after thee!

Lord, You are the one in whom our heart delighteth! Lord, You are so lovely! Praise You Lord Jesus, we love You. Attract more people to Yourself!

Lord, Your love brings us to ourselves!

O come Beloved,
On my garden blow,
That the odor of spices
May break forth and flow,
That the odor of spices
May break forth and flow.
My spouse, My sister,
I’m come into My garden
To feast upon wine, milk and honey.

Set me, Lord Jesus,
As seal on Thine heart;
Jealousy’s cruel as Sheol,
And love’s strong as death,
Jealousy’s cruel as Sheol,
And love’s strong as death.
Much water cannot
Quench love, nor do floods drown it.
All man could give for love is contemned.

What a beautiful and deep love song from Songs of Solomon 4:16 (Amplified Version)

“Awake O north wind, and come south wind [blow softly upon my garden]. Make my garden breath out fragrance [for the one in whom my soul delights]. Let its spices flow forth. Let my beloved come into his garden and eat of its choicest fruits”. What an experience to breathe out a fragrance that pleases God and know His love. 2 Cor 2:16 says we are a savor of life unto life. Lord I want to have that sweet savor.

I love thee Jesus!!!!!
