Jesus Loves Maysel
December 5, 2017
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us.
1 John 4:10
When my sister Maysel was little, she would sing a familiar song in her own way: Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells Maysel. This irritated me to no end! As one of her older, wiser sisters, I knew the words were me so, not Maysel. Yet she persisted in singing it her way.
Now I think my sister had it right all along. The Bible does indeed tell Maysel, and all of us, that Jesus loves us. Over and over again we read that truth. Take, for example, the writings of the apostle John, the disciple whom Jesus loved (John 21:7, 20). He tells us about Gods love in one of the best-known verses of the Bible: John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John reinforces that message of love in 1 John 4:10: This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Just as John knew Jesus loved him, we too can have that same assurance: Jesus does love us. The Bible tells us so.
Dear Lord, thank You for the assurance that You love us. We are filled with gratitude that You love us so much that You died for us.
Jesus loves me! This I know.
Do you wish you could believe God loves you? Or does the thought seem childish and self-centered?
John, the disciple whom Jesus loved (John 13:23), must have heard his Teacher say that only those who become like a little child would enter the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 18:24). John took those words personally, but didnt apply them just to himself. He wrote about the Father who loves all of us (John 3:16; 1 John 4:1416). With great maturity and childlike certainty he reminds us that believing God is love and loves us personally is what gives us reason to love Him and one another.

Bethlehem of Judea A little child,
A shining star.
A stable rude,
The door ajar.
Yet in that place,
So crude, forlorn,
The Hope of all The world was born.

A Happy GratiTuesday to you, left that other site

Trusting God Even If
December 6, 2017
The God we serve is able to deliver us.
Daniel 3:17
Due to an injury that occurred in 1992, I suffer from chronic pain in my upper back, shoulders, and neck. During the most excruciating and disheartening moments, its not always easy to trust or praise the Lord. But when my situation feels unbearable, Gods constant presence comforts me. He strengthens me and reassures me of His unchanging goodness, limitless power, and sustaining grace. And when Im tempted to doubt my Lord, Im encouraged by the determined faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They worshiped God and trusted He was with them, even when their situation seemed hopeless.
When King Nebuchadnezzar threatened to throw them into a blazing furnace if they didnt turn away from the true God to worship his golden statue (Dan. 3:1315), these three men displayed courageous and confident faith. They never doubted the Lord was worthy of their worship (v. 17), even if He didnt rescue them from their current predicament (v. 18). And God didnt leave them alone in their time of need; He joined and protected them in the furnace (vv. 2425).
God doesnt leave us alone either. He remains with us through trials that can feel as destructive as Nebuchadnezzars furnace. Even if our suffering doesnt end on this side of eternity, God is and always will be mighty, trustworthy, and good. We can rely on His constant and loving presence.
Lord, thank You for being with us, no matter what were going through.
Share this prayer from our Facebook page: Facebook.com/ourdailybread.
Faith relies on our Almighty Gods unchanging character, not on our circumstances.
