Quiet. Let us stop all of our mind talk and listen to the Lord.
Have you told yourself today -- Jesus Loves me. Ok.
Have you continued to tell yourself Jesus Loves me.
Have you got a stop watch?
I wonder how many seconds it takes you to say that short, affirming, powerful prayer “Jesus Loves me.”
It is both a statement of Fact and Truth.
Do you hold it dearly in your heart --- because you should.
It should impact each breath you take this day.
It should set you on a straight path each time you utter it.
It keeps you closer to Me each time you say it.
Does it not put a smile on your face -- Jesus Loves me!
You can whisper it, say it in your head, shout it out loud, write it down.
Each and every time you say it, it deepens our relationship.
It not only brings you to the height of being Loved, it takes your breath away to think you are so, so Loved by your Saviour.
It makes you stronger and bolder to face the next moments of your day.
It puts a smile on your face because you delight in the fact, in the belief that Jesus Loves me.
It erases all shame.
You never need apologize to Anyone who tells you that they Love you Unconditionally.
You never have to do years of penance thinking you can buy this Love --- it is Freely Given and can be Freely Received!
Ask Me for the Grace to open you heart to this heart nourishing affirming prayer – “Jesus Loves me.”
Can you imagine if those of us who believed yelled it out loud from the roof tops every day.
We would certainly affirm each other and maybe make the neighbours take notice.
“They will think I am crazy”, you will say.
Aaaah, yes you are crazy to the World who may not believe in Me.
But what a refreshing crazy – you are not hearing voices.
You have been Graced to proclaim to yourself and others, if you so wish, that Jesus Loves me.
No explanation needed. No further in-depth insights to share.
This Affirming, Peaceful prayer stands on its own with no further explanation because it contains the Fullness of Truth – “Jesus Loves me.”
With these Words you proclaim to your soul that you believe in Jesus.
With these Words you accept His Love for you.
Wow, knowing and accepting.
