Jesus Is Precious

When I woke up this morning, I didn’t expect Jesus to lead me to see ways I’m unfaithful to Him. But He did. And that is His love.

The afternoon commenced with a renewed, steadfast pledge to do better. When I see Him, I want Him to know that I gave it my all. That I sought with everything in me to be His and His alone. That’s what I want. And today, Jesus called me to act on it. “Faith does.”

I have come to long for His love, the kind of love that makes me better, holier, and more righteous. It’s a pure, exquisite love. And, like all with Jesus, it makes me fall in awe.

Moving deeper into faithfulness to Him is a way to show Him that He is the most precious to me. That there is no one like Him. That He is my one and only. It is a way to protect my relationship with Him against any tear or break.

Frankly, I didn’t know I had the power to choose the start of this faithfulness. But He told me it’s what He wanted, what He needed, from me. And, I found the power. For Jesus is precious to me.
