Jesus Loves Me This I Know

JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW

"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!

The Bible tells me so!"

How can one simple truth also be so profound. Jesus loves ME! I know me and there are many times that I am not very lovable. Yet Jesus LOVES me! It is almost too big to wrap my mind around at times. I have many friends and family members that love me, but to think that JESUS loves me is overwhelming. A man, a brother, my Savior, my King who chose to die for me says that He loves me.

Isn't it funny that everything we are told in the Bible all stems back to something that we learned when we were probably three years old. Why should we go into all the world to make disciples of all nations? Because Jesus loves me. Why should I love my neighbor as myself? Because Jesus loves me. Why should I love God with all my heart, soul, mind, strength? Because Jesus loves me.

If we truly understood all that Jesus has loved us through, we would not hesitate to love others through everything they are going through. Forgiveness becomes easier when we realize the things from which we have been forgiven.

Go out today and show the love of Jesus to others. Show them what true love looks like. Introduce them to the One who loves them!
