Hello and welcome back
to Praise I'm Kelly Mowrer.
00:00:20.98\00:00:23.33
Thank you for joining with me
today. In year 1860, there were
00:00:23.37\00:00:27.24
two sisters named Susan and Anna
Warner and they lived on the
00:00:27.28\00:00:30.93
beautiful Hudson River in
New York near the United States
00:00:30.97\00:00:34.72
Military Academy at West
Point. Both sisters were highly
00:00:34.75\00:00:38.72
educated and also very devoted
Christians. Every week they
00:00:38.75\00:00:42.35
would travel to West Point
to hold worship services for the
00:00:42.39\00:00:45.90
cadets there. When they
died they were buried with full
00:00:45.94\00:00:49.38
military honors in recognition
of the spiritual contributions
00:00:49.42\00:00:53.13
they made to the young officers
at West Point. In fact, they
00:00:53.17\00:00:56.90
also willed their house to West
Point and today it is a national
00:00:56.94\00:01:01.68
shrine. But in 1860 the sisters
wrote a book together. In their
00:01:01.71\00:01:05.97
story, which was a best seller,
one of the characters recites
00:01:06.00\00:01:10.23
this poem to comfort a
little boy who was dying.
00:01:10.26\00:01:13.54
Jesus loves me this I
know, For the Bible tells me so.
00:01:13.58\00:01:19.53
Little ones to him belong.
They are weak but he is strong.
00:01:19.56\00:01:24.61
Today we're going to meditate
on the love of Jesus and the joy
00:01:24.65\00:01:29.67
of living for him
always surrounded by his love.
00:01:29.70\00:01:34.10
Yes Jesus loves
me, Yes Jesus loves me,
00:01:41.30\00:01:54.32
Yes Jesus loves me
For the Bible tells me so.
00:01:54.36\00:02:13.61

00:02:13.64\00:02:18.86
Jesus is the sweetest
00:02:18.90\00:02:22.67
name I know.
00:02:22.70\00:02:26.87
And he's just the same
00:02:26.91\00:02:31.55
as his holy name.
00:02:31.58\00:02:35.40
And that's the reason
00:02:35.43\00:02:40.08
why I love him so,
00:02:40.11\00:02:44.69
for Jesus, he is
the sweetest name.
00:02:44.73\00:02:51.65
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
00:02:51.68\00:02:57.71
there's just something
00:02:57.74\00:03:03.74
about that name.
00:03:03.77\00:03:11.64
Master, Savior, he's Jesus.
00:03:11.68\00:03:18.75
Like the fragrance
00:03:18.78\00:03:23.99
after the rain.
00:03:24.03\00:03:29.17
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
00:03:29.21\00:03:36.89
Let all heaven
00:03:36.92\00:03:38.70
and earth proclaim.
00:03:38.74\00:03:44.43
Kings and kingdoms
00:03:44.46\00:03:49.82
will all pass away,
00:03:49.86\00:03:53.81
but there's something
00:03:53.85\00:03:57.77
about that name.

The thing about truly falling
in love with Jesus is that our
00:05:55.81\00:06:00.78
closeness keeps growing
more precious to us. His Spirit
00:06:00.81\00:06:04.87
creates in us new hearts, hearts
to know him, to hear his voice,
00:06:04.91\00:06:10.13
to see him working in our
circumstances beautiful outcomes
00:06:10.16\00:06:14.63
for his glory. Nothing
can separate us from his love.
00:06:14.66\00:06:19.03
No matter how lonely we
feel or how hard things are,
00:06:19.06\00:06:23.36
our feelings are no measure
of the reality of God's presence
00:06:23.40\00:06:27.90
with us always, his love
bringing us safely through
00:06:27.93\00:06:32.10
the storms and his faithfulness
to complete the work he's begun
00:06:32.14\00:06:36.07
in each of our hearts.

The work that God wants to
complete in us is to make us
00:09:49.04\00:09:53.50
more and more like himself,
to draw us into such a close
00:09:53.53\00:09:57.51
connection to him that we
become one with him just as
00:09:57.55\00:10:01.46
Jesus and his Father lived
in intimate connection with each
00:10:01.50\00:10:05.90
other. Do we make this one
of our hearts' desires? Do we
00:10:05.94\00:10:10.02
really ask god to show us
the areas where he wants to work
00:10:10.06\00:10:14.36
and change us to be more like
him? How much time do we spend
00:10:14.40\00:10:19.04
reading his word and seeking his
ways? Is the work that he does
00:10:19.07\00:10:23.68
in our hearts evident to the
people around us? Do they see
00:10:23.71\00:10:26.99
Jesus in us? Does every
relationship we have give
00:10:27.02\00:10:30.81
evidence who we belong to, who
we live for, that his love has
00:10:30.85\00:10:35.91

For those of us who long to live
more and more committed to Jesus
00:19:46.70\00:19:51.44

to ask the Holy Spirit to open
our eyes to the ways we can live
00:19:55.21\00:19:58.68
closer to him, live more
for him, we can turn to his own
00:19:58.71\00:20:03.43
words for the standards
that he has already set.
00:20:03.46\00:20:06.50
In John 13:34-35, Jesus says: A
new commandment I give unto you
00:20:06.54\00:20:11.96
that ye love one another. As
I have loved you that ye also
00:20:11.99\00:20:16.92
love one another. By this shall
all men know that ye are my
00:20:16.96\00:20:21.82
disciples if ye have love one to
another. We have all been saved
00:20:21.86\00:20:28.74
by his grace, set free, and
given a place at the table of
00:20:28.77\00:20:32.36
the marriage supper of the lamb,
not because we deserved it, but
00:20:32.40\00:20:36.33
because he gave us something we
could never have had any other
00:20:36.37\00:20:40.31
way. And he ways to each one of
us, If you are really thankful
00:20:40.34\00:20:44.15
for this gift I have given you,
if you really want to live for
00:20:44.19\00:20:48.38
me then you will treat others
with the same generosity, the
00:20:48.41\00:20:52.45
same compassion, the same
love that I have shown to you in

As we once again have told God
how much we love him and want
00:25:17.13\00:25:21.74
to live for him, let's close our
time together by listening as
00:25:21.77\00:25:26.35
Klara and Eva play the
prayer that Jesus taught us to
00:25:26.38\00:25:29.64
pray to our Father for to him is
the kingdom, the power and the
00:25:29.68\00:25:33.57
glory forever.
