0:00This is follow Jesus' radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. This devotional thought is from morning and evening by Charles Spurgeon. Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Lamentations 3.40 The spouse who fondly loves her absent husband, longs for his return, a long-protracted separation from her husband is a semi-death to her spirit. Just so, with souls who love the Savior much, they must see his face. They cannot bear that he should be away upon the mountains of division and no more hold communion with them. A reproaching glance, an uplifted finger will be grievous to loving children who fear to offend their tender father and are only happy in his smile. Beloved, it was so once with you, a text of Scripture, a threatening, a touch of the rod of affliction, and you went to your father's feet, crying, show me why you contend with me. Is it so now?
1:00Are you content to follow Jesus a far off? Can you contemplate suspended communion with Christ without alarm? Can you bear to have your beloved walking contrary to you, because you walk contrary to him? Have your sins separated between you and your God, and is your heart at rest? Oh, let me affectionately warn you, for it is a grievous thing when we can live contentedly without the present enjoyment of the Savior's face. Let us labor to feel what an evil thing this is, little love to our own dying Savior, little joy in our precious Jesus, little fellowship with the Beloved. Hold a true lint in your souls while you sorrow over your hardness of heart. Do not stop at sorrow, remember where you first received salvation. Go at once to the cross, there and there alone can you get your heart quickened. No matter how hard, how insensible, how dead we may have become, let us go again in all the rags, poverty and defilement of our present condition. Let us clasp that cross, let us look into those languid eyes, let us bathe in that fountain filled with blood.
2:07This alone will bring back to us our first love, this alone will restore the simplicity of our faith and the tenderness of our heart. That's it for this podcast. Below Jesus' radio is here 24 hours a day to encourage you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.
