The Love Of Christ :)

It’s hard to even begin to imagine the depth of the Love it would take for anyone to come down from Heaven to Earth, much less the depth of Love and Strength it took for Jesus who knew the painful future He would face-just to rescue us.

I wish that I could say that I would do that, but I just don’t have the Love and Strength that Jesus has.

And I think of the love that Mary and Joseph must have had both for our Father and for Jesus, and for us.  And I am so very grateful to all of them.  I always will be.  Just as I am so very grateful to the Holy Spirit. Always. ?

But there is another reason that I am so very grateful to Jesus.  He’s always there for me.  When I am happy and when I am sad.  When I am strong and when I am weak.  When I am laughing and loving, and when I am lonely and lost.  Jesus is always there-loving me. 

No matter how I am. No matter where I am. Jesus is with me.  If I fall, Jesus picks me up.  And if I get lost, Jesus comes running after me.  He never lets me get lost for long and His love for me is not dependent on any actions I take-or don’t take. And Jesus listens, really listens, all the time, with an intentness and compassion that would touch the hardest of hearts.

Jesus Loves me Unconditionally.  And unlike the world, which often measures our success by our financial or career success.  Jesus doesn’t measure mine.  He just wants me to love Him back ?.

We love Jesus, because He loved us first.  So this Christmas, let’s just say Thank You ?
