Is there a better way to start the day than telling Jesus how much you love Him? I know I have woke to this beautiful hymn previously as I seem to recall telling the story as to how "My Jesus I Love Thee" became one of our classic hymns.
It is thought, in 1864, William Featherston wrote the words as a poem to his Aunt after he accepted Christ as his Savior. He mailed the poem to her in California from his home in Montreal. Some time after she received the poem, she gave it to a publisher. Later a Minister in London, England saw "My Jesus I Love Thee" in a hymnal, changed the tune and it is became this wonderful hymn we have come to hear and enjoy today.
I pray it will be a blessing to you as you listen!
I hope your Thursday will be amazing!
