And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood Rev. 1:5 ESV
Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so; Little ones to Him belong. They are weak, but He is strong. Many of us learned these words when we were kids. So simple and yet so long forgotten. It is so easy to stray from this one simple fact that the entire Christian walk is based on and then slip into a life of cold legalism.
Jesus loves us so much that He shed His own blood to pay for our sins on the cross at Calvary. He died for us and He has already paid for all of the sins that I have done, and all of the sins that our children will commit in the future if we will let Him. We simply ask for His forgiveness and then try to not do it again. Sure you should try and live right. Jesus said that if you love Me, you will keep My commandments (John 14:15). One of His commandments was to love one another (John 13:34). If you do this one right, you will fulfill the rest of them.
Today you may have many problems, but a sin problem is not one of them. Not being loved by Him is not one of them. Accept the fact that Jesus loves you. Accept His forgiveness when you make mistakes, because forgiveness is for you as well. Accept Jesus, we are weak, but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me and yes, I will love others.
Site update #586: I completed a large update to the Audio Library on the left sidebar. There is now a live service archive of all past services, full-length in case you miss a service and want to catch up, as well as all of our original music. You can download the .mp3 files directly to your device now to listen when you don't have internet. I also added a pop-out player so you can listen without remaining on the page. Give it a try and let me know if you have any problems. 😀

sounds great. I know that will be useful for me...need to write that down. Hope the Todd family have a blessed Saturday and Sunday. I do believe God gave us those 2 special days for His sake and our sake! Work hard or volunteer (myself) hard through the week. We get our rewards here on Earth and rewards in Heaven.
