April 30, 2022 Bible Verse | Devotional MESSAGE
Jennie Hussey grew up in New Hampshire. There, she dedicated much of her life to caring for her sister who was an invalid. In her free time, Jennie liked to write poems about her faith and the difference Jesus had made. In 1921, she wrote a poem that told of how she had surrendered her life to serve Him.
She realized that Jesus set an example by being a servant and dying for our sins. She wrote, “King of my life, I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory be; lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow, lead me to Calvary.”
She expressed what Jesus went through for her. She wrote about her desire to see the tomb where Jesus had been buried. And she realized that she needed to take up her cross daily and follow Him.
She prayed, “May I be willing, Lord, to bear daily my cross for Thee; even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me.” Everything in life pointed to what Jesus had done for her: “Lest I forget Gethsemane, lest I forget Thine agony; lest I forget Thy love for me, lead me to Calvary.”
Remember what Jesus has done for you. Some day, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that He is Lord. Crown Him the King of your life. Commit everything to Him. He is “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Prayer
Jesus, You are my Lord. Thank You for all that You have done for me. I dedicate myself to serving You. In Your name, amen.
