Jesus Loves Me

Note From Davy:

Let us continue to pray for our nation and specifically this morning for the people of Nashville, Tennessee. It appears at this time, the explosion in downtown Nashville before daylight Christmas morning was intentional. God help us all.

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in with you for another Saturday. I hope you are doing well today. Yesterday was Christmas and we enjoyed time with our immediate families the last two days. Our traditions were necessarily a bit different this year, but we loved every minute.

I hope you were able to spend a little time with those that you hold dear.

I am thinking today about an awesome fact. Jesus loves me! Dad preached recently reminding us of the simple truth that Jesus does love us. 

I learned this truth at a young age, but it was good to be reminded that I am loved by Jesus! It brings great comfort to my heart to know that He really does love me. Knowing that I am loved by Him helps me navigate life.

2020 has been full of uncharted territories for all of us. We do not know what is happening today, tomorrow, or next week.  I wish we could find the answers to correct everything in an instant, but it is impossible for us to magically fix our individual problems or heal our world.  

Even in the midst of uncertainty in the world, we know that Jesus loves each of us unconditionally! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you that you are loved! Rest today in His love. We can be triumphant in the love of Jesus.

I am thankful that I have experienced the true love of Jesus.  His love is life changing! I want everyone to really know the power of His love for them.

As I have written this post I have been listening to the song Jesus Loves Me. I learned this song as a child. It is not just a children's song. Today I am choosing to hear it with fresh ears. I am letting the message wash over my soul. I have cried tears of joy as I rejoiced because of the gift of His love for me.

Click here to hear the Gaither Vocal Band's version of the song. This was released around 2006. This  GVB line up was Marshall Hall, Wes Hampton, Guy Penrod and Bill Gaither.

Thanks for reading. I am thrilled to visit with you. I am going to leave you with the lyrics of Jesus Loves Me. I encourage you to let them soak in and ponder them for a while. 

Jesus Loves Me

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

Jesus loves me He who died

Heaven's gate to open wide

He will wash away all my sin

Let His little child come in

Yes Jesus loves me

Yes Jesus loves me

Yes Jesus loves me
