Jesus Loves Me

I’m inspired this morning by Queen’s journal entry…it’s such a confirmation of what I was sort of thinking/meditating about on the drive to work this morning. There’s an illustration from A Purpose Driven Life that has stuck with me and it’s this….If the movie of your life, were played in all its uncensored glory on a big screen, all the hidden moments and thoughts when you thought no one was looking, were just up there on display for everyone to see, your family, your friends, etc., what would they think. Would they still love you? How would you feel? God has seen the whole movie from beginning to end…all of it-nothing hidden- and He saw it and still laid His life on the line for YOU and for ME because HE LOVES YOU AND ME, wretched little creatures that we are.

When I take a moment to try and wrap my mind around that…it’s overwhelming and extremely humbling to me….almost unfathomable…and I realize, that this is where the having faith thing comes into the mix….this is where, I say…no it can’t be…how can that be? Because He said so and because it is. And it’s as simple as the nose on your face. Jesus Loves Me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so…

Preacher P likes to say….God is for you…he wants you to succeed. He wants you to win more than you want to win.

In this world of it seems to good be true, Our God is Truth and the Truth is that God loves you and me!!!

Put your hand in front of your face about six inches out….now try to look around it…anywhere but at your hand…this is what the world is doing with our God and His Word….I am guilty of it….looking for answers everywhere but the hand in front of your face.

How do we maintain the clarity when God’s love washes over us so purely…how do you maintain the truth in this muckety muck life? That’s the Christian journey…holding on to faith….holding on to the truth.

I want to thank whoever was praying for me last night…It may have just been my mother…I know she prays for me all the time….but of my own silly choices, I went home last night a little frightened that a movie monster was going to be there waiting for me…lol…I feared that I wouldn’t be able to sleep…but I zonked out as soon as my head hit the pillow! Lol

Well…I just had to come here and journal some thoughts that were sparked by my ride to work this morning and also by reading my brain-twin’s journal entry…I figured before I took up a huge space in her comment box that I should type it here…

Have a blessed day!
