Dear Friend,
You are loved!
You are loved personally and passionately by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Just the fact that God created you and continues to sustain you means that He loves you! "But You have mercy on all, because You can do all things; and You overlook the sins of men that they may repent. For You love all things that are and loathe nothing that You have made; for what You hated, You would not have fashioned. And how could a thing remain, unless You willed it; or be preserved, had it not been called forth by You? But You spare all things, because they are Yours, O Lord and lover of souls, for Your imperishable spirit is in all things!" (Wisdom 11:23-26) NAB
God created you as one-of-a-kind. You are unrepeatable! You bring delight to the Father's heart! He treasures you! NO ONE ELSE CAN LOVE HIM LIKE YOU CAN!!!
The Father delights in you uniqueness and specialness. He enjoys you! You are not just another number in His eyes! You add your own special flavor and fragrance to the world.
The Father loves you just as much as He loves Jesus! "And I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as we are one, I in them and You in Me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know You sent Me, AND THAT YOU LOVED THEM EVEN AS YOU LOVE ME." (John 17:22-23) NAB
The Father loves you just as much as if you were the only person in the entire universe! He is madly, passionately in love with you!
God created you to know, love, and serve Him in this life, and TO BE HAPPY WITH HIM IN THE NEXT. He loves you so very much and He thinks you are so special that He wants you to spend Eternity with Him in total bliss! WOW!
The Lord has a plan for your life. He wants good thngs for you even more than you do! "For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe! plans to give you a future full of hope." (Jeremiah 29:11) NAB
The Father never forgets you. He will never forsake you! "But Zion said, 'The Lord has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me.' Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you. See, upon the palms of my hands I have written your name, your walls are ever before me." (Isaiah 49:14-16) NAB
He is a compassionate Father. "As a father has compassion for his children, so the Lord has compassion for those who fear Him." (Psalm 103:13) NRSV
The Father cared about you so much that He sent His very best to show you how much He cares. He sent JESUS! "For God so loved the world (insert your name here) that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes is him may have eternal life." (John 3:16) NAB
We need Jesus! Apart from Him we can do nothing. We cannot earn God's love, forgiveness, and salvation. "Behold, You are angry, and we are sinful; all our good deeds are like polluted rags; and our guilt carries us away like the wind." (Isaiah 64:5) NAB
Jesus emptied Himself of the glory of Heaven to become one of us. He was like us in all things but sin. He suffered everything you have suffered, and more, out of love for you. He suffered a gruesome and excruciatingly painful death for love of you. Jesus came as a servant to you, His creature. What utter humility!
"I gave my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; my face I did not shield from buffets and spitting." (Isaiah 50:6) NAB
"He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised, and we held him of no account. Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all..." (Isaiah 53:3-6) NRSV
Jesus died for YOU personally. He would have lovingly died this gruesome and shameful death just for you even if you were the only person in the whole world. He thinks you are worth it.
" But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, brought us to life with Christ (by grace you have been saved), raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, that in ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 2:4-7) NAB
Jesus loves you... Not just if, when, or because you are doing something "good". We can't even desire to do good unless He gives us that desire.
Jesus loves you EVERY DAY! Every hour. Every minute. Every second. All the time. Not just when you are having a good day. Not just when the people around you are having a good day. He loves you lavishly no matter how you feel, no matter what your circumstances are.
Jesus thirsts for your love. He loves you so deeply; you are His Bride. You ravish His heart. It breaks His heart when you reject His love. He is Love, hungering and thirsting for your love, the love of His creature. What awesome, tender humility He has!
Jesus is able and willing to bring wondrous and wildly unimaginable good out of ALL the pain, trials, and tragedies of your life... if you will turn to Him and trust Him. "We know all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28) NRSV
Jesus didn't leave you as an orphan when He ascended to the Father. He sent His Holy Spirit. The Paraclete. The Advocate. The Comforter.
The Holy Spirit loves you! He has so very much to give you.
Holy Spirit, You who are the Love between the Father and the Son, please take me and place me in the center of the life and presence of the Trinity. Fix me between the loving gaze of the Father and the Son. Help me to realize how deep Your love for me is, the love that You have had for me even before my conception. I truly want my life to be infused with Your Divine wisdom, love, and grace so that I might follow your masterful plan for my life. May the fire of Your love in me touch others, leading them to You and Your great love for them. Amen.
Dear Friend, Jesus has written you into His story. He is calling to you. He stands at the door of your heart and He knocks. Will you let Him in? Will you pray this prayer with me?
Lord Jesus Christ, Risen Savior, King of Kings, Son of God, son of man, I come before you just as I am, acknowledging my sinfulness and my personal weaknesses. Without you I am nothing, with you, I have everything. O Master, I ask for an increase in faith, hope and love. With praise and thanksgiving I place before you the following needs. (Here ask for whatever you need, little or big, spiritual or material. Don't hesitate to ask Jesus for anything... He loves you.)
O Risen Lord, I offer you my life and I truly accept you as my Lord and my God. I surrender to you as my personal Savior and I repent of my sins. I am sorry for having offended you. I unite my sufferings with yours on the cross and I ask to be more deeply unified with you in your Resurrection.
Give me good health in body, soul and spirit. Let your Holy Spirit dwell within my heart. Allow me to experience your Father's love. As you lived with Mary and Joseph, so live within my home and bless every member of my family. I declare you the Lord of my house and ask for the protection of your Precious Blood over my loved ones.
I love you, Jesus Christ; I praise you Lord. I shall follow you as your disciple every day of my life. Through your Spirit, your Bible and your Church, teach me your ways. I desire to live in you, with you, for you and through you, my Risen Lord, now and forever. Amen.
You have just made Jesus very happy!
