Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ,
so that whether I come and see you or am absent,
I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit,
with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel.

Jesus loves

Yes, Jesus loves me.

It's a simple song sung by many children throughout the decades and it will continue to be, but how profound the meaning of this is. I remember as a child singing this song, singing only because it was an easy song to remember. If only I would have understood what all Jesus' love for me meant.

That once simple verse, is now my meaning for life. 
Jesus loves me.
A sinner, uncleaned, undeserving, broken, battered, searching and seeking destruction.
He loved me anyway.

Yes, Jesus loves me so much that He thought of me, knew me and made me in His image.
Yes, Jesus loves me so much that  He created me to glorify Him forever, fully knowing that in doing so I would be completely satisfied and happy in Him.
Yes, Jesus loves me so much that He became sin, who knew no sin, so that I might live in righteousness.
Yes, Jesus loves me so much that He bore the wrath of God that was meant for me.
Yes, Jesus loves me so much that He rose three days later and sent the spirit to dwell in His people.
Yes, Jesus loves me so much that He is coming back one day.
Yes, Jesus loves me so much that I will be spending eternity with Him, in awe and astounded of Him.

Jesus' love isn't just a simple song to sing. Jesus' love is an indescribable, incomprehensible thing.
I do not know what all this love entails, but I am fully willing to spend the rest of my life finding out.
