“There is a god-shaped vacuum in the heart of everyone that only God can fill through His son Jesus Christ”. -Blaise Pascal

Jesus said in John 14:15&21 15“If you love me, you will obey what I command. 21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.” (NIV). I entitled these verses as I HEART JESUS. Maybe You you wonder ” Why I Heart Jesus?”. For me this I heart Jesus means like we are putting Jesus in our hearts or maybe I can say we are making Jesus as our very own heart. Jesus said he came to the world to give life and not to judge the world “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” -John 6:51 NIV.

Like Jesus in our spiritual life, heart serves as the powerhouse of the whole body system of a human and without heart no one will be able to live or survive by otself. Every cell which is the building block of a living thing has its own powerhouse and that is the mitochondria. But we are more than a cell, we are human beings composed of billions and billions of cells, as a system that is made up of group of cells and organs, mitochondria is not enough to be our powerhouse in order for our whole system to operate, that is why God gave us heart to use to pump the blood with oxygen through our entire body. One more good thing about us, we are not just humans of this world and we have another being that is higher than any living creature, our spiritual being. We, each of us has soul and this soul won’t be able to live of its own if it does not its very own heart who is Jesus, for Jesus is the heart of salvation.

Jesus gives life to our spiritual being, without Christ in our heart we are not deserving to be called christians, and without Christ there is no life as well. Jesus had loved us even before we were yet to be born in this world or even our grandparents, and that love that I am talking about was proven through the cross. Through the cross Jesus showed us what his love to his people is all about and how much he loves us that HE would rather die than live without us. Jesus has “hearted” us from the very beginning of everything.

Now that we have met Jesus and known that what He has done for us, it is now our turn to love him back, to show that we heart Jesus and we are ready to follow what He commands us to do as His followers and Lovers of Christ.

Since now Christ is living in us or in our hearts and love him the most, we can now call ourselves as “Jesus-hearted christians” . Jesus said in Matthew 22:37-38 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind this is the FIRST and GREATEST commandment”.

• If we love Jesus, we should follow Him.
• If we love Jesus, we should take up our own cross and do what Christ commands us to.
• If we love Jesus, we should take His words in our minds and hearts.
• If we love Jesus, we should we should let Jesus control and take over our hearts.
• And most of all Jesus said if we love Him, we will be loved by his father and by Him and show himself to us.

“Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my father and I too will love himand show myself to him” -Jesus (John 14:21).

That promise is very amazing and so wonderful to know. What does it mean? It means and assures us that we will go to heaven and individually we’ll present ourselves to God and hear the words that every believer longs to hear,

“Well done my good and faithfull servant” -Matthew 25:21.
