O How I Love Jesus

I was pondering many of the reasons that I love Jesus. It is THE motivation for the Caring Ministry. Loving Jesus puts the desire into my heart to do what Jesus asked us to do. Or maybe a stronger way to put it is, what Jesus COMMANDED us to do.

Here are just a few of the innumerable reasons that I love Jesus.
  • I have been blessed to have wonderful, loving Christian parents and siblings.
  • I am sharing my life with a wonderful man who also loves Jesus.
  • I have food on my table, gas in my car, a roof over my head and a job to go to 40 hours a week (even if it doesn't always seem to be a blessing!!!)
  • God has blessed me with children, which not every woman has the pleasure of experiencing in her life.
  • There is a peace in the midst of every storm thanks to our loving God promising me that He never forgets me, for He has carved me in the palm of His hand. (Isaiah 49:15)
  • I have been given far more grace than I could ever possibly deserve because of what Jesus did for me.
These are all very wonderful reasons to love Jesus. I am sure that I could continue this list for miles. But I realized after all is said and done, the reason that belongs at the very top of this list is because Jesus loved me first.

That beautiful hymn, "O How I Love Jesus", sums it up. "O how I love Jesus, because He first loved me."

THAT is what we are here to share. That wonderful love that Jesus has for me is not for me alone. I have no right to keep it to myself. I want to connect others to that love and watch what Jesus will do in their lives as well.

Won't you join me in reaching others by helping with the Caring Ministry?

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
