This afternoon, I went to pick up one of our lil’ buddies for the long weekend. On the way there, it was just me and the Lord…with the following song playing. My, how it stirred my heart as I once again did a self-examination of my utmost desires. Could I truly say that there was nothing I’d rather have than Jesus? Is Jesus enough? Or, have other desires taken precedence over a\u00a0close, intimate\u00a0fellowship with my Saviour?<\/p>\n
What about you this evening? Is Jesus enough for you?<\/p>\n
I\u2019d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
\nI\u2019d rather be His than have riches untold;
\nI\u2019d rather have Jesus than houses or lands,
\nI\u2019d rather be led by His nail pierced hand.<\/p>\n
Than to be a king of a vast domain I\u2019d rather have Jesus than men\u2019s applause; Than to be a king of a vast domain He\u2019s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom; Than to be a king of a vast domain (Rhea F.
