Jesus loves YOU.


Sometimes when I hear something over and over again it starts to become redundant and not as valuable to me as the first time I heard it. I want to expound on that for a moment to remind you of what that means.

Jesus loves you.

Romans 5:8
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

We are conditioned to feel like we have to work and earn love. As much as we desire to give and receive unconditional love it is a hard task for us as humans. We are conditioned to expect things in return when we give anything to others. This is why the Bible talks about denying self so much because that is exactly what Christ did 2000 years ago for us. While we were dead in our sins, He died for us.

Philippians 2:4-8
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Unconditional (Agape) Love is what we all desire. A love that isn't based on who we are or what we do or what we can bring to the table. A pure love, that chooses us first, right where we are and continues to pursue us without conditions.

We can't earn His love. 

He didn't wait for us to get our act together. He didn't wait for us to pass the test. We weren't even alive when He considered us as He was nailed to the cross. Jesus was in the beginning at the right hand of the Father interceding for us, being fully aware of our sinful condition. Yet He still chose to die for me and for you! 

Romans 8:34
Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

He took on our guilt, our shame and paid the ultimate price for us. Because of His great love for us sin is no longer a barrier between God and us. We were enemies of God and deserved His wrath but Jesus came to restore our relationship with our Creator.



Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 1:7
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.

His great sacrifice forever silences any doubt that He loves us!

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

You are loved ♡

Wanted to share this, it helped me a lot.

Losing Friends, Gaining Faith by  JENNIFER JOHNS  on  APRIL 30, 2010 Several weeks ago a friend visited my desk to chat when she noticed a small square paper hanging on my cubicle wall. She asked what it said and leaned in closer to read it. The quote was about staying open to the change God wants to do in our lives. An uncomfortable look formed on her face and she said something about how HR doesn’t allow religion in the workplace. I wasn’t sure if she was kidding or serious, so I asked if it offended her. She said, “Well, it’s definitely weird.” Losing Friends I’ve noticed a difference in some friendships since  dedicating my life fully to God . At times it comes in the form of mocking, especially after sharing a great story that feels highly inspiring, but it also comes in the form of rejection. At first this new dynamic was hard to swallow; it felt like I was being torn between two worlds. It was great getting invites to dinner or drinks with friends, and yet I had

You either follow him or you deny him, there is no middle ground.

We live in a world where the majority of the people reject the God of the Bible, thoroughly reject Biblical Truth, and live their lives without Christ in their hearts. Moreover, they don’t want anything to do with God because they love their sin.  That is why the Bible calls us a "peculiar people," and to most of the world we are extremely peculiar and in many cases hated because of our faith in Christ. They hate us because we make them uncomfortable and remind them of their sin. They don’t want to face, think about or deal with the reality of their lives and life after death. They think that if they ignore it or deny the truth that somehow they can escape it and get by with their sin. Most people in this world have made the conscious choice to live their lives apart from Christ and in rebellion to the Truth of His Word, and those who embrace the Lord and His Truth are seen as the enemy. Those who choose to live in rebellion to God and His Word are always on the offensive

Did you girls know that you can pray for your future mate starting right now? You may be just fifteen and marriage may seem a long way off for you; but you can never be too ready for marriage. It’s a life long commitment. Who you choose to begin the journey till death with is highly important. It can either make or break you. You can spend your life married to the most charming hunk of a man, but if he lacks wisdom, he’ll be the furthest thing away from the key to a happy marriage. This doesn't mean you can’t pick an attractive guy, but your priority should be on his character rather than his demeanor. Start praying today. You might actually have some fun. You can list out the characteristics you would like him to have and present them before God. You can tell God your likes and dislikes. He’ll be enthralled by what you have to say. Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4) It’s never too early to begin praying for "The O
