P.S. I love you!

"I love you!" Imagine if this message appeared on your cell phone screen, and the sender was Jesus Himself!

friend, wouldn't that be something? To get such a personal message from heaven, addressed directly to you? Sometimes it may feel like this would be easier. After all, we'd have instant reassurance that God loved us as we were, right at that moment. 

But do you know something? I think Jesus didn't want to make it that "easy." I think He knew that even after personally receiving this message, each of us would've quickly doubted: "Yes…but how much does He really love me now? Was that message meant to be more than just a casual 'love you'? How strong is His love really?"

That's why Jesus did something that made it clear, once and for all, how strong His love for you personally is, friend! He showed His love through more than just a text message that takes only a few seconds to type and send… 

Jesus took TIME, leaving His beautiful home in heaven to prove to people here on Earth how strong His love is through His nearness; His miracles; and finally, His death on the cross:

"Dear children, let's not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions." (1 John 3:18, NLT) 

Jesus took this hard step so that you wouldn't doubt His message of love for you! He made it absolutely visible. I exhort you today: don't doubt a love about which there is no doubt!

friend, yes—this love is for you. You personally. And I'd like to pray with you if you'd like to accept that love today! 

"Jesus, thank You for not simply choosing the 'easy way'...thank You for the effort, time, and cost of Your love. You gave Your very life to show me how great Your love is. No one has ever loved me more, and today, I gratefully accept that love! I love You, too, from the bottom of my heart. In Jesus' name, amen."

You are a miracle!
