Letters To Jesus
When I was 6 or 7 years old I used to write Jesus letters all the time. I had this "secret cupboard" that NO ONE was allowed to look in. I would write "Jesus I love you," and put it in my secret cupboard. Then I would shut my eyes tight and pray for an angel to come and take the letter and give it to Jesus...
That was about 6 years ago. Though an angel never physical took it out of my secret cupboard and gave it to Jesus, I know Jesus read every word of my letter. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a letter to Jesus. I hadn't done it in a long time. I literally sat down with paper and a pen and wrote a letter to Jesus. It felt sooooo good. Instead of asking for God to send an angel to come and take away the letter and give it to Jesus, I just gave my letter to Jesus in my heart. And I know he read ever word of that letter.
Though this may seem strange, it helps a lot. There are different ways to pray to God. Usually I pray to him in my heart, or out loud. But this praying to him; writing him a letter, helps in so many ways. I encourage you to do it. Sit down a quiet spot, get a piece of paper and a pen, and just write. Then give your letter to Jesus. He reads every word, and I promise, he will answer.

Hi friends! I felt the Lord leading me to share this passage with you all. I pray that it blesses you, impacts you, and that God shows you something through it...
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory."
Ephisians 1:3-14

Experiencing HIS Love
Jesus, nailed onto a cross, all for me...
Recently, the Lord has been speaking to me of how much he loves me. Just how much. How wide, how deep, how high his love really is.
The bible says a lot about love. First of all, it is the most important instruction. To love the Lord your God... and the second one is to love your neighbor as yourself.
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:13
The greatest is love. Plain and clear, love is the greatest.
"This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him."
1 John 4:9
God sent his son to this painful and broken world, to die on the cross, all for me. All for love.
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever"
Psalm 136:1
His love is not temporary, it endures forever. No matter what we may say or do, it doesn't matter, His love endures forever.
So really, how deep is His love? How wide is it really? I get overwhelmed by just one touch of his love. I don't think any one can really fathom how much God really does love him.
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end"
Ecclesiastes 3:11
"It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end."
John 13:1
I love this verse. He loved them to the end. To the very end. Same goes for us, He will love us to the end.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8
While we were still sinners, he loved us. He died for us.
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
1 Peter 2:9
He chose us. Do you think that He would choose us if He didn't love us?
"We love because he first loved us."
1 John 4:19
He loved us first.
These are just a few scriptural examples of God's love. There are so many, and they are all true!
So, do you really know how much God loves you? If you don't know, God loves you very much. He loved you so much that he gave His only son just for you. If you have felt God's love, there is more. His love is higher than the sky and deeper than the ocean. Whether you are a Christian or not, God's love is for you. The evil one wants to steal that love, don't let him. There is an amazing love, and it's name is Jesus. The only hope of this world is his love. He has offered it, but do you receive it? He offers freely. We live in a dark and broken world, and there is only one love that can restore all the brokenness. He is the only light that can pierce through the darkness.
As we prepare to celebrate the baby boy who came into the world, died on the cross and rose again, dwell on his love. It is so deep, so high, so wide. Once you experience His love you are never the same. It is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. You won't want to miss out. And I promise, you won't be disappointed.
