I’d Rather Have Jesus
How weird is this?! I woke up this morning and opened my phone to see it randomly on the screen with the song “I’d Rather Have Jesus.” I pushed “play” and listened to this song while remembering a special time in my life and a unique story. Back in college I used to sing this song for Sunday schools and other groups. I sang it with an interpreter to an entire church in Tokyo, Japan on a missions trip. After the song, a sweet little Japanese lady came up to me and told me she had trusted Christ during the song. Apparently, friends had been telling her about Christianity and Jesus for a long time, and the song is what God used to finally capture her heart. Anyway, I have no idea why this was on the screen on my phone this morning, but I listened and it reminded me of this special event in my life. More importantly, it reminded me what a treasure Jesus is. I really would rather have Jesus than anything, but it isn’t because I’m so good, but because he is.
