Jesus Loves Me, This I Know

For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to die at the
cross so that the world through His death shall be saved.

Many believe Jesus died for the world but not for them. They don't
personalise Jesus' love in their lives. They think Jesus will only heal
others and not them. They think Jesus will only prosper others and not
them. They think Jesus is able to do all miracles but not for them.

Oh, how wrong can these people be! The bible tells us of a story of a leper
asking if Jesus is willing to heal him of his leprosy. Jesus, who has all
power, is willing and He reached out to touch the leper and made him whole.
That's the love of Jesus!

In another incident, Jesus turned around to look at the woman with the
issue of blood who had taken her healing from Him to assure her of His love
for her and His shalom in her life. That's personal. Jesus had no issue
moving on to heal Jairus' sick daughter but He took the time to address the
woman personally before moving on.

The bible tells us of another incident where Jesus protected the woman
caught in an adultery. Jesus did it in style even when the Pharisees and
Scribes were trying to put Jesus in a spot. His love for the woman will
make sure the woman was protected from her accusors and that there was no
more condemnation for the woman for He was going to bear all demnation at
the cross.

In our daily lives, be conscious of Jesus' personal love in our lives. For
perfect love casts out all fears. Jesus is ever loving and caring and most
willing to take care of our every challenging situations and trials and
turn them for our good.

His greatest love for me was exhibited at the cross. At the cross, He
divinely exchanged His righteous position for my sinful nature. Whoever He
is, I am, for He lives in me. Greater is He who lives in me than he who is
of the world! Be aware Jesus is always loving me. He loving nature will
protect me from all harm. Hallelujah!
