JESUS FORGIVES US

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Romans 5:8
King James Version

Kurt Kaiser wrote the beautiful hymn "O HOW HE LOVES YOU AND ME". I am so glad to know Jesus loves us so much He died for us.

"O how He loves you and me, O how He loves you and me; He gave His life--what more could He give? O how He loves you; O how He loves me: O how He loves you and me!

Jesus to Calvary did go, His love for mankind to show; What He did there brought hope from despair: O how He loves you; O how He loves me; O how He loves you and me!"

Even when we hurt Him, Jesus still loves us. O that you and I would follow his example and love one another. We read in the Bible. "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." John 15:12

May God help all of us to love one another unconditionally and forgive each other just as Jesus loves us and forgives us. I love You, dear Jesus. One happy joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.

Carrie E. Breck wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn "FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR" What a day of rejoicing it will be when we see Jesus.

"Face to face with Christ, my Savior, Face to face—what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me?
Only faintly now I see Him, With the darkened veil between, But a blessèd day is coming, When His glory shall be seen.

What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened,And the dark things shall be plain."

May God have mercy on us if we refuse to forgive those who have hurt us. How dare you and I ask God to forgive us if we aren't willing to forgive those who have hurt us. Remember, Jesus is the only perfect Person who ever lived or ever will live.
