You Are Loved

I can remember when my daughter was much younger; sitting in the back seat of our car bellowing out the lyrics, "Yes Jesus loves me, yes  Jesus loves me, yes Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so." 

How much happier I would be as an adult if I  merely embraced the fact that Jesus loves me with the same conviction that my little girl does.  But for some reason I've fought it for most of my life.  I have had difficulty accepting that someone as wonderful as Jesus would be interested in me.  However, irregardless of how I feel the ultimate truth remains; Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. 

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."   John 3:16.

"In this love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His son to be the propitiation of our sins."  1John 4:10.

See, we will never have to do anything to make God love us.  We can not make God do anything.  He loves us because He chooses to.  He loves us because that is who He is.  If God is love, then love is God.  Because He possesses ultimate power He could easily decide to dump us and not take an interest in us.  In the simplest of terms; God loves us because  He wants to!  After all, He doesn't owe us anything. Yet, He continues to love us and show us kindness.

He even shows love to the ones who do not love Him.  "God causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."  Matt 5:45.

Anyway, I asked Jesus what He wanted me to tell all of you today, and He said, "Tell them that I love them."

Well, I'm telling you that He does love you and if you will simply embrace this truth you will experience a peace that can surpass all human understanding.  I always try to understand God through intellect and reasoning and it doesn't work.  God's ways are far above my own.  Soooo, let me save you the suspense;  you will never be able to figure God out so stop trying because it's a waste of time.  To further simplify the decision I can narrow it down to two choices:  One, you either trust that God is who He says He is, or two, you don't.

This will be my last blog at jehovahsultimatetruth.blogspot.com  Thanks to all of my loyal readers.  Look for my new blog.  I'm not sure what the title will be yet, but I know that the information will be  for "all" of God's children and not just for one specific group.  The truth is; we are all humans and we all struggle in some way or another and I just want you to know that there is help available for each and every struggle that you will ever face.

Until we meet again, may God's peace keep you.  Thanks for your support, Kim
