One of my favorite albums is “Love Ran Red” by Chris Tomlin. There is a song in that album that never ceases to move my heart, never ceases to make me cry. It is “Jesus Loves me.” [link below]
Two lines in that song take my breath away.
“Jesus, He loves me, He loves me, He is for me
Jesus, how can it be, He loves me, He is for me.”
I think David would have liked this song because he expressed the same thought in one of his.
Psalm 56:9b: “This I know, God is for me.”
Psalm 56 is a “Cry for Protection.” It is attributed to a time in David’s life when the Philistines seized him at Gath.
God is for me. For me. ME! How can that be? I know what I am. I know what I’ve done. I know all the things wrong that I have allowed in my life. And still, God is for me.
When I think of that fact – that God is for me – I sink down deep into the unfathomable truth that Jesus loves me, and I find rest for my soul and peace for my heart. I think I’ll listen to that that song again this morning.
Thank you, Lord. Today I focus on the fact that You love me, and You are for me. I will praise you for that profound truth. Amen
