Jesus Loves Me!!

Jesus loves me; Oh yes He does x3

I know you’ve heard that chorus before, I know you know it just as well, if not even better than I do; but have you ever stopped to think about the words? Have you ever sung that chorus out of pure joy, feeling the happiness, the JOY of that truth washing over you? Have you ever sung that chorus out of quiet desperation, hoping against hope that those words will give you the strength to go on, that that truth will give you that much needed boost of faith to just help you to go on, just to go on…

I have… I remember singing quietly to myself when I needed to fight that temptation but had no idea where to start. I remember saying the words when I felt like I was slowly losing my will to fight, when I really needed a reason, any reason to go on…
Jesus loves me…

He died for my sins, He watches over me, He led me to where I am, He protects me, no matter how weak I may feel, He gives me the strength to go on, gives me the strength to take that one step in the right direction…and after the first it’s always easier. And even if for some reason I shrug of His help and take a running leap off the cliff, He is always there to catch me, always there to help me back up… Jesus loves me, so much so that I cannot comprehend it, not even if I tried.

And then the happiness comes, the joy… Jesus loves me, what else can compare to that? No matter how far I have fallen, He will pick me back up, no matter how weak I feel, He is my strength, He is my hope, He is more than enough reason to go on…

If you’ve been walking with me, then you know that for a while I was discouraged, I wrote just a couple of weeks back that I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, but Jesus loves me. He has given me the strength I needed to go on. I have had a good week, I have found myself again, or maybe I still am, finding myself I mean, but I am not down in the dumps anymore, I can smile again, I can laugh again, laugh from the heart and mean it, coz my Lord and Savior loves me, and He has brought me through…

Jesus loves me, oh yes he does
Jesus loves me, oh yes he does
Jesus loves me, oh yes he does,
For the Bible tells me so….

I know I probably haven’t made much sense today, but I’m happy, and for now, that is really all that matters.

Jesus loves me…
