Loving Jesus brings so many blessings. I can still hear my mom’s voice in my head as she shared with me during her last days, “I love Jesus so much.” She did, and it showed in the way she treated others, the way she spoke to others, the way she conducted herself. There was no doubt in any of her nurses’ minds, this lady has something special. That “something special” was her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our love for Jesus will make a difference in how we live and speak and relate to those around us. Our appreciation for His blessings should lead us to love Him, obey Him, and live to serve Him. When we love Him, it oughtta show.
