Jesus Love Me This I Know For the Bible Tells Me So!

This is a really good visual! Makes you realize how good you have it and how thankful you should be to God in everything. Thanks, Jerry, for sending this to me.

A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, he dropped his knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear. "The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room. Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."The man was filled with relief and said, "Thank you Lord," and he did as he was told. Upon entering the other room, he saw many crosses; some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. "I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined. When all seems lost remember, Jesus loved you so much He died for you. He wants to be there for you walking by your side and even carrying you when you feel like you can't go on. He loves you with a love like no other:
"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."(Psalm 139:9-10)

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul" (Psalm 143:8).

"Everyone who calls, 'Help, God!' gets help. But how can people call for help if they don't know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven't heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them?" (Romans 10:13-14 Msg).

"In all their suffering he [Jesus] also suffered, and he personally rescued them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years" (Isaiah 63:9 NLT).

"I cry to you, O LORD; I say, 'You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.' Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me" (Psalm 142:5-6).

Bible Book of the Month

It seems like everyone is teaching from Deuteronomy lately. I had no clue there was so much great stuff in Deuteronomy. I think I've been inspired to read the whole thing! Here are some of the verses that have been given to me lately:

Dueteronomy 28:1(although the whole chap. is worth taking the time to read...) "If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all of his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth."

This chapter is on how God blesses us for being obedient to His will. Deuteronomy 16:15 "...For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete." God is my provider! Thank you Lord for providing me with everything I need!

Deuteronomy 6:5 "Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that's in you, love him with all you've got!" Great Verse! the rest of the chapter is also great, but I'll let you read it for yourself!

Deuteronomy 20:1-4 "When you go to war against your enemy and see horses and chariots and soldiers far outnumbering you, do not recoil in fear of them; God, your God, who brought you up out of Egypt is with you. When the battle is about to begin, let the priest come forward and speak to the troops. He'll say, "Attention, Israel. In a few minutes you're going to do battle with your enemies. Don't waver in resolve. Don't fear. Don't hesitate. Don't panic. God, your God, is right there with you, fighting with you against your enemies, fighting to win" Isn't it great to know God is battling with us! We are not in this war alone. Thank you God for being with me in my battles!
