Jesus Loves Me, This I Know

Jesus Loves Me, This I Know
 
What a great song, Jesus Loves Me. Though known as a children's song, I feel it is a wonderful reminder for all of us adults as well, especially the adults who have come to doubt those words. It's a sad thing when we adults begin to grow older we lose faith. And not just in God, but in dreams too. It's like we throw God and dreams in with the tooth fairy or Santa Clause; "those are childs play and only for the minds of children".

I am reminded of what Jesus said, in Matthew & Luke's gospel...

Matthew 18:4 "Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Luke 18:17 "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

I often have wondered what Jesus was really saying here? Could it be that he was referring to the child-like faith of little ones? Or that it's so easy for a child to believe in what is unseen. Unlike we adults who feel that, "if you can not see it then it is not real". I am reminded of a couple more scriptures...

Matthew 6:6 "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

2 Corinthians 4:18 "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Oh to have child-like faith that says and believes with the whole heart, Jesus Loves Me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so!

First, know today and everyday, JESUS LOVE YOU, no matter what you've done, or what you are doing now... He longs for a relationship with you! Invite Him into your life today - you'll be glad you did. Secondly, begin to dream again! What do you want to become? What do you want to do in life? What do you want to accomplish? Dream again!

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! This I know,As He loved so long ago,
Taking children on His knee,Saying, “Let them come to Me.”

Jesus loves me still today,Walking with me on my way,
Wanting as a friend to give Light and love to all who live.

Jesus loves me! He who died Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash 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.

You aren't going to believe this Georgie...I was singing this song just yesterday. I like the simple songs, but really this song is far from simple. It may be sung by children but it was written by an person who obviously knew and understood the love of God. 'Yes Jesus loves me....the Bible tells me so.'  What an awesome promise!

love,

I just got through writing this song to Pauline in a reply.  I never saw this post before I wrote part of the song to her. LOL.  God is so good the way he touches our hearts the same way.

Oh How I Love Jesus, Oh How I love Jesus, Oh how I love Jesus because He first loved me.
