BECAUSE I KNEW

“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

Jeremiah 31:3 KJV

I asked Jesus once why He loves me so much and why He tells me He loves me all the time.  He spoke to my heart and said “The reason I was able to complete my mission when I was here on earth was because I knew My Father loves Me.  Knowing He loves Me gave Me the courage, strength and desire to go on”.

When you are in the middle of a crisis or walking through a dark valley, remember Jesus loves you and He will give you the courage, the strength and the desire to keep serving Him.  Not only does Jesus love you, He loves you unconditionally.  You are so precious to Him that He died for your sins.

I’ve said this before and I will say it until God calls me home or Jesus comes back for us.  Nobody loves you like Jesus loves you and nobody ever will.  He loved you yesterday.  He loves you today.  He will love you tomorrow and for all eternity.  What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world!

Why do I keep telling you Jesus loves you?  It is because an old Methodist preacher once said “I heard the Gospel.  I heard the Gospel.  I heard the Gospel.  Then praise God, one day I heard the Gospel”.  It had gone from head knowledge to heart knowledge that Jesus loves him.

My prayer for you is that you will allow it to enter your heart that Jesus loves you so much He walked that long lonely road to Calvary and there allowed them to crucify Him for your sins.  Have you got it yet?  Jesus loves you!  Yes, I’m talking to you!
