Jesus Loves Me
How are the following statements similar?
Jesus loves me, the sky is blue and the grass is green. The correct answer is that they were all common knowledge throughout much of my life.
However, several days ago, I read John 3:16 where it says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Unlike all the other millions of times I read that verse, something touched my heart deeply. It reverberated within my soul, echoing without end.
Jesus, my Savior, loves me.
Of course, I have always understood this intellectually, but I never understood it in a personal way. So while I sat there, my mind repeated the thought just as if I never heard it before. I was a baby who discovered a whole new and amazing aspect of the world.
I discovered Jesus’ love.
How amazing is that? Jesus, the perfect Creator, actually loves a sick sinner like me. He loves not only me, but every human that ever walked the face of the earth.
Thank you, Jesus.

It's fascinating how quickly someone loses credibility when they start babbling things like, "Jesus loves me!"
...and so forth.

If you look really close there's a "D" at the end of loved. God not only loves you now, but he loved you before you were even created. He knew every mistake and heartbreak we would cause and loved us anyway. How rock'n is that?
Hi there cool fella :) It is wonderful when we think about God loving us in such a way.
Reading you inspires me. Thank you.

Hey Michael,
I'm honestly never going to stop being stunned and inspired by these posts of your.
God's love is something I can't even begin to understand.

Good stuff. I was reading Psalm 65:3 right before I read your post. It says, "Though our hearts are filled with sins, You forgive them all."

You assert that God loves people, God loves the world. You make this assertion in the face of apparent contrary evidence - death and suffering of young children and innocent people.
The question to ask is how bad does the world have to get before we conclude that God doesn't love the world after all?
