Day 28: The Simple Truth


Take a moment.

And be so STILL. 

And then say the following words,

as if you REALLY BELIEVE them,

putting your name in the blank line.

Get Ready. Get Set. Go.

JESUS

LOVES

_____________!

Now

BE STIL & KNOW.

Has this

 SIMPLE TRUTH

become so SIMPLE

that the LOVE of JESUS

has become so

ELEMENTARY

that HIS LOVE are just words?

Oh how I have brushed by

 this TRUTH

because I wanted

______________ to LOVE me

or

______________ to LOVE me

or

maybe even have myself LOVE me.

I wanted the

 LOVE OF JESUS,

plus someone else.

And as long as I was craving the LOVE of another

more than RECEIVING and BELIEVING 

that

JESUS LOVES ME,

I would be never be LIVING AS LOVED.

Ouch.

Maybe it is just me,

but have you ever felt like this?

Think about it.

How do you feel when you are holding

a BABY,

and then your eyes connect

when

 the BABY gives you a big smile

that comes from his/her heart.

Oh LOVE at first sight.

You don't debate with the BABY

and question if the BABY LOVES you.

You just KNOW.

Can you imagine how MARY felt when she

looked into the eyes of

JESUS

on the night HE was born.

GOD chose MARY to RECEIVE HIS LOVE gift

of JESUS. 

And there HE was.

MARY holding GOD'S SON.

And there you are.

And there I am.

And there is everyone else on this planet.

Looking at THE BABY.

The little one who was BORN,

to be BORN into your HEART,

just because

JESUS LOVES ___________!

I feel so SIMPLE this morning,

as I am tired of COMPLICATING

the SIMPLE TRUTH.

What if we all spent our waking seconds of this day

to ABSORB FULLY

the

SIMPLE UNEDITED TRUTH

that

JESUS LOVES YOU!.

Now that

 CHRISTMAS is starting to morph into NEW YEARS,

as the dread of taking down the decorations,

and the removing the lights,

and becoming like a ground hog to go into hiding

until EASTER SPRINGS, 

where is

JESUS? 

Oh HE IS HERE.

JESUS IS HERE AND THERE IS NO TURNING BACK.

Even though JESUS is sitting at the right hand of OUR FATHER,

HE has not left you alone.

For THE HOLY SPIRIT

has left HIS mark upon your

mind, body, and soul

that shouts,

_________________, YOU ARE MINE! 

And why?

All because

JESUS LOVES ___________!
