Why Do You Love Jesus?
Posted : 16 Dec, 2009 01:06 PM

Every time I am asked this question a deeper truth is always revealed. I can begin by stating what the bible confirms, that without God, I can do nothing, and without God's love, I am nothing. That is what I think, and how I feel. I am defined by Jesus Christ. My values, beliefs, and inspiration all come from Him, by Him, and through Him.



I love knowing every day I wake that my soul is saved. That truth never gets old for me. I still thank God to this very day for making salvation possible for all of humanity, and for blessing my soul with what it needs the most-eternal life.



I love knowing how much I am loved by Jesus even when I miss the mark. I love knowing that I am only "perfect" as His Divine beauty unfolds in me. I love being able to recognize His grace in me, in other people, and throughout the world continually. I love being able to boast about Jesus. Without Him, we all know that darkness prevails, but now since I, like you, am an individual part of His body, His Light will always shine. I simply love His Light.



I love being a new creation. I love being molded, shaped, sculpted, refined, reformed, and transformed from Glory to Glory and for His Glory. I am equally as glad this process will never stop. I will always yearn for the purity of Jesus.



I love knowing that Jesus Christ will never forsake me in any way imaginable. I know He is always near, that as I call on Him in truth, does He come even closer. To be still with Jesus is more profitable than all the money in the world. I love knowing that, and seeking quiet time with Jesus.



I love Jesus because He is so loveable. I will love Him all of my life. There's no going back to a life that doesn't exist, the one I was trying to live without Him. He has shown me too much truth, love, forgiveness, mercy, joy, and peace. Jesus deserves in the very least for me to learn how to love Him, to praise His name above all names, and to sincerely worship Him in spirit and truth.



There is no love without Jesus. That's one more reason why I love Him. He validates me. He affirms my worth. He shows me the way. My walk of faith begins with Him, ends with Him, and every moment that I shall live in this world I seek to give to Him, to be spent for His perfect purpose and perfect Will to be done, for His Glory always, and not my own. Also, Jesus is much more interesting than I am. I can't think of a better way to live, feel, breathe, and be. For me to decrease, and Jesus to increase is a prayer that will never cease for me.



Yes, this is why, in part, I love Jesus.



Why do you, I ask?



Blessings To All!

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8



Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. -John 15:13



It was in those truths that Jesus first captured my heart. Giving ones life so that another may live... there truly is no greater love. How can I not love Jesus knowing this great He has for me, for all of us?

Because he first loved me, gave his life for me, he saved me, because he was human and went through everything I have went through, but so much more, and showed us the way with every step, because he is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, because he always loves me, because he will never leave me, because he instructs me, because he calms the storms and protects me, because he heals me, because he warns me of danger, because he is worthy of all praise, because I can fully trust him, because Jesus is LOVE.



Oh how I love Jesus,

Oh how I love Jesus,

Oh how I love Jesus,

Because he first loved me!:yay:



A servant in Christ,

Cecelia
