Jesus loves me


I rose out of my struggle and started singing this song that you all might know:
 
Jesus loves me,
This I know,
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong,
They are weak but he is strong.
 
If you are a songwriter or music teacher, I apologize for the way it is written.
 
I realized then as I was singing it repeatedly that this song is full of theology and inspiration.
 
In ‘Jesus loves me’ alone.  There is a Bible verse that pops to mind. 
 
John 3:16 that says: “For God so loved the world that he gave his Only beloved Son                          that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

 
It is obvious then that the rest of the Bible shows us that Jesus loves us.
 
This little song took me out of my despair and brought me back to reality which is to know that God loves me, and life is a lot easier with him than without him.
I don’t know what you struggle with, but I want to let you know ‘Jesus loves you’.
 
Next it also says that ‘little ones to him belong’.  It means that the door to enter is not just narrow, but also small.  You might have to bend a little and give up a few things especially your pride.  ‘Little ones to him belong’ I would add or such as these.
 
‘They are weak, but he is strong’ denotes the reality of our state as human beings.  We like to pretend to be strong.  We are only fluff and more precisely dust.  We are like weeds that only grow for an instant and then are gone. Him on the other hand is the opposite.  He is Almighty God able to rescue us from anything.
 
Have a great weekend!  Happy Father’s Day.

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this
