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,
