His Divine Love

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies."
- John 11:25

Charles Wesley was one of the most prolific Christian hymn writers of all time.

It was said that he’d had the gift since childhood; that after he received Jesus as his Lord and Savior the words flowed freely from his pen. When we allow God to become the center of our lives, amazing things happen!

Exodus 15:2 says, “The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.”

In one of Wesley’s hymns, he expresses the sentiment of Exodus 15:2 and tells of the love of God for mankind. The words of the hymn have a true holy feeling: “Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven to earth come down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling; all Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love Thou art. Visit us with Thy salvation, enter every trembling heart.”

Do you have a heart full of praise for the gift of love that is found in Jesus Christ? Give praise to Him today!
