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 ♡

Quick Blog: Giving to others.

Throughout my walk with Christ, I have been truly learning how to love others, and stop making everything about me. I have always been a generous, giving, and kind person. But because of being so generous I have been taking advantage of several times by people I would not have thought would do me like that. And yet because I have a kind heart, I still continue to love on them, and help them.If it wasn't for Christ, I would have a bitter heart towards all of those people who did those things to me. I want to live Christ-like, so I choose to keep loving the unloving, and forgiving the unforgiving because I know it will help me grow spiritually, and draw me closer to God. In the bible it says it is better to give, than receive (Acts 20:35). I find myself asking God, how come I have yet to meet other young Christians that are like me, giving, with a pure heart? How come I keep finding myself giving, and not ever receiving? Than I instantly have t...

Sometimes the walk in Christ can be a lonely walk. You may feel like you can't relate to anyone, you may feel as though all your friends have turned their back on you, but know that Jesus is with you every step of the way. Stick with Jesus, he's all you need, he's a friend that sticks closer than a brother. God will cause people to leave your life, because they aren't good for you anymore. He is leading you in a new direction now, just trust that he is protecting you from the bad things that may happen to you. Embrace his love, and protection. He will send you new friends and put you through new experiences<3

Keep Jesus at the center!

http://www.worshiphousemedia.com/song-tracks/36556/Jesus-At-The-Center A lmost a year ago, I went to church with a former friend and one of the ministers called me up and started to pray for me and prophesy over my life, one of the things that he told me is that I was being distracted. Immediately I was thinking to myself like this man doesn't even know me... At the time, I just started school, and could not understand what I was being distracted by. Well now over a year later I see it, I ended up in a situation that overtime (months) had become something that started to affect me spiritually, mentally and emotionally. And I started to worry about this, that and the other, this situation started to become the center of my focus, no longer was Christ the center he was alongside it. That wasn't my intention but even when we may have the best intentions at heart, and want the best for our situations, we can STILL be distracted by things. I got distracted, and didn't mean t...
