      “Let the words of my mouth, and 
      the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my 
      strength, and my redeemer.” 
      Psalm 19:14 
       
      Many times I have asked God this question. Who am I that You should love 
      me? Every time He says I am His child and I am precious to Him. When I 
      finally realized who Jesus is and what a Great Friend He is, my life 
      changed.  
       
      Our hearts are barren and empty of love for others until Jesus puts His 
      Love in our hearts. All of us are born with a selfish nature, which 
      carries over when we grow up. It is only by allowing Jesus to work through 
      our hearts and lives that we can love others and be effective as He wants 
      us to be for Him.  
       
      How about your heart today, is it filled with the Love of Jesus? Are 
      others seeing the Joy of Jesus on your face? When you talk, do others hear 
      the Compassion and Love of Jesus in what you say?  
       
      So many people are hurting inside and they desperately need this Joy and 
      Love of Jesus. I urge you to let Jesus fill your heart with His Love and 
      Joy so that you can be a vessel fit for the Master’s use.
