I came back from my walk one day last week. I was tired from the walk, tired of sore knees and sore back and sore neck, tired of having to struggle so hard to gain back the strength and stamina I lost over the last three years. So much of life is a struggle. Whether we are young or growing old, male or female, rich or poor, there are enough struggles in this life for all of us.
My playlist was still playing on my phone as I sat in my big lounge chair to rest a bit. I put my head back just as “Jesus Loves Me” by Marshall Hall started. I just sat there and let the words of the song flow over me, nourishing my soul. I was reminded that through every struggle, through every difficulty, and when life is not fair, still Jesus loves me.
“Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong. They are weak, but He is strong.”
“Jesus loves me, He who died. Heaven’s gates to open wide. And He will wash away all our sins, and let His little child come in.”
Jesus loves me. Those words are so simple and yet … they may be the strongest, most glorious, words in the history of the cosmos. Jesus loves me, even though I do not deserve that love!
“Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so.”
I’ve published this link before, but if you are struggling, child of God, take a minute and let the words of this song just wash over your heart and soul. Let the Spirit of God nourish your soul as you listen.
