This morning I woke up singing, “Oh how I love the name Jesus. It is the sweetest name I know. Oh how I love the name Jesus.” I heard this song earlier this week and it resonated in my heart and it bubbled up in my spirit as I gave praise unto the Lord this morning with the fruit of my lips. Oh, there’s something about that sweet name.
Some of the words of the Kirk Franklin’s rendition says, “some people say I'm crazy but, I can't explain the power that I feel when I call your name; said it's just like fire shut-up in my bones. The Holy Ghost is moving and just won't leave me alone. There's something … when I call your name Jesus. Said it's sweeter than honey from a honeycomb (now that’s sweet!). At the name of Jesus every knee has got to bow so you don't have to wait till the fire comes you can call on Him, shout, Praise him…do it right now!” This is a great place to take a praise break and give God praise while you yet have your being, sing sweet praises unto the Lord.
The words to the song ministered to me and reminded me there’s something about the name Jesus and there is no other name as sweet as that name. Just the mention of His name, brings about a peace, brings about a joy and it will not only comfort but it will console you. I love that we are able to call on Him anytime, any place and He is right there. It’s something about that name. There’s healing in His name – salvation is His name, love in His name; whatever you need, it’s in the name of Jesus! It’s the name that moves mountains, the name that calms the seas, the name that can speak to the circumstance of your life and immediately it's got to change. Power in that name. The name that is above every name… Jesus.
Oh how I love the name Jesus! There’s something about that name… it is the sweetest name I know. Say it often, Jesus... it will bring about a power in you!
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
