JESUS UNDERSTANDS

"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

Isaiah 53:5
King James Version

Jesus was beaten and died on the cross for something He had not done. That is how much He loves us. He didn't have to leave His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for our sins.

He came to earth because He loves us so much. How much do we love Him and what are we doing to prove to Him that we love Him and appreciate Him?

When is the last time you told Jesus that you love Him? He has feelings too and He needs to know we love Him and appreciate Him.

Jesus, I do love You and appreciate all You have done for me and all You do for me every day.

Yes, Jesus understands how it hurts when someone says something to us that is mean and sarcastic. If you are hurting, tell Jesus. He will pick you up in His arms of love and will carry you until the pain goes away.
