John 15:9 -- Just as the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; remain in My love.
After spending time in prayer, just talking with the Lord, I had this overwhelming sense of His love for me. It was so simple, and I just couldn't let go of it. As I tried to move into our walk together in John chapter nine, I found myself quietly humming, 'Jesus Loves Me'. I couldn't get it out of my mind and soon I was singing it.
This is where the entire journey ended up. Singing 'Jesus Loves Me' over and over in His presence. I looked up the lyrics and there are a million lyrics people have made up over the years but the ones below I sang over and over. It was so simple, yet so powerful. He then led me to John 15:9 and several other places in the Word just showing me His love over and over.
I felt His love. It was emotional. It moved my feelings. Then He told me He loved me in the Bible. Over and over, He spoke it to me through His Living Word. What a joy to walk with Him today!
Jesus loves me!
This I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me!
He who died
Heaven's gate to open wide;
He has washed away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
Jesus loves me!
He will stay
Close beside me all the way.
Thou hast bled and died for me;
I will henceforth live for Thee.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
Never forget, you are loved. You are prayed over. You are not alone. I genuinely mean these things. If no one else ever cares, Jesus does, and so do I.
