Many Times We Feel Like No One Really Cares about Us or Really Loves Us
(John 15:9)
Many times we get to a point in our life where we feel like no one really cares about us or really loves us. I want to assure you this morning, that Jesus loves you more than you can ever know. Because He came to this earth and walked where we walk each day, He understands the problems and difficulties of our daily life.
That is one reason why our prayers have so much meaning. Jesus understands what it is like to have a sick friend. He understands what it is like to have people we love in trouble. He understands when your lives are in a mess. Jesus knows, He understands, He cares, and most of all, He loves you deeply.
I pray today that you dwell on and come to the realization just how much Jesus loves you and cares about you. Sometimes, just comprehending this simple truth can make all the difference in our life. In the complexities of our life, we often need to get back to basic truths to maintain our focus. Nothing is more basic or more real than the love Jesus has for you.
As you go through this day and deal with the problems of life we all face, keep in the front of your mind the love Jesus has for you. Let that knowledge give you hope in the hard times and peace in those times where things are going okay. As you make those daily decisions, remember Jesus loves you. You can reciprocate that love by doing those things which will be pleasing to Him. Remembering His love for us. Wanting to please Him helps us to make the right decisions throughout the day.
I love you and care about you so much. I am grateful for each one of you and your concern for others. Keep this ministry in your prayers as we tell people worldwide each day just how much Jesus loves them. Thank you for helping spread the word about this great oasis of hope on the Internet called Liveprayer. You are very special to me, but more important, you are very special to Jesus.
Remember this simple but powerful word today, JESUS LOVES YOU!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
