^^^ True that! In fact, Jesus loves you so much, He would rather die than live without you!

Not me…

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Not me…

Yes you too!

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Not me…

Stop that! Jesus would have lived a sinless life, died the death He did, risen from the grave, ascended to the Father, and would be even now at the right hand of His Father, advocating for your salvation, if you were the ONLY ONE on the whole planet who would accept Him as your Savior! He died for YOU! He died for ME!

Why? Because we deserve it? NO! Because we NEED Him to!

You think you're a mess? You think you're a sinner, a loser? Move over, Sister, you got nothing on me. You don't know where I've been, what I've done. But it DOESN'T MATTER. Becuse Jesus came to save SINNERS. He LOVES us! He wants us to be in His kngdom with Him.

Look at it like this. You're walking down a fancy street and everywhere you look you see yards with expensive, purebed dogs. You can tell these dogs are loved. The yards are clean and well- kept. The dogs have been recently groomed. They have everythng they need. Shade, food, water, swimming pools, air conditioning. Professional dog walkers. These dogs are LOVED. Then you see a broken-down, starving, dirty stray. It's scared. It's been beaten. Its coat is matted. Its pads are bloody. It's lost and afraid. Doesn't your heart go out to it? Don't you want to take it in your arms, bind up its wounds, give it food, water, shelter, love, comfort?

That's how Jesus feels about us. He knows we're lost and afraid, beaten and bloody by Satan. He wants to comfort us and take us home. Not because of anything we can do for Him, but simply because His great heart of love knows what we need.

He loves you Kelsey. With a love as big as the universe. He stretched out His arms on the cross and said, I love you THIS MUCH!

@ShrekDawg, it doesn't matter what you've done, look, this is how it works ...

Romans 3:23 KJV
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23 KJV
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 John 1:9 KJV
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I know it's hard to believe it could be that easy but it really is!

She's probably asleep. It's after midnight where she is.

And I'm headed that way myself. Good night, Warriors. Keep the faith!

Jesus Christ loves everyone perfectly, regardless of their imperfections or mistakes. This love is not earned or contingent on behavior.
He's proven that love for us all through His Atonement.
No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father and Jesus have not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you, with an infinite love..The love of God is redemptive and saving.
