Jesus Loves Me This I Know

 

Romans 5:8

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” 


“Jesus loves me. This I know, for the Bible tells me so.  Little ones to Him belong. 

They are weak but He is strong. 

Yes. Jesus loves me. Yes. Jesus loves me. 

Yes. Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so.” - Anna B. Warner


Jesus loves me. He loves ME. Personally. 

Say these words aloud. Repeat often. There is healing power in reciting truth.


There is no guesswork in God.  His Word is forever settled in heaven. The Word of God is a declaration of His great love. The love of God, 

 a light shining in the darkest crevices of our soul.


How do I know? 

It is because, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  

Sin is a place of darkness. Light has no fellowship there.

But God made way for us to walk in the light of life when He sent His Only Begotten Son.


I am in awe of the Glorious Christ who saw me,

loved me, saved me. 

 As a little girl, I remember the Sunday I joined the church.

 I see myself in a gray dress with a plaid bottom. I can glance back through memory and see myself standing up and walking to the front of the church.

 It was at  Elizabeth Baptist.  

I went forward and took my seat.


I see myself with braided hair and dressed in white on a second Sunday in December.

  I was nine years old. 

Rev. Winston talked to me and told me that in the water I would fold my arms before he baptized me.  

My arms folded, the man of God put me under the water and brought me up. 

 I did not fully realize it then, but my life would never be the same after that day.


Jesus loves me. I believed it then. I believe it still. 

Until life on earth ends I will cling to this truth.

Jesus loves me.

 He who died, heaven’s gates to open wide.

  He “did” wash away my sins. 

Let His little child come in.


Every day is an opportunity to walk in the newness of life.  Each day an opportunity to shine our lights in a world so desperately in need of illumination.  

It is because of the sacrifice of Christ’s

love,  that we can go forth and share this miracle with others.


Someone needs to hear or be reminded of 

John 3:16:

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Jesus loves me.

 He loves ME.

 Personally.


God bless.

In Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...
