“We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19

Feel loved today? Many days we do, and many days we don’t. Why is that, I’ve often wondered. Most likely it’s because everywhere we look we are subjected to all manor of comparison, and constantly reminded of how we may not measure up to someone else. And as much as we’d like not to admit it, we care what others think about us, say about us, or the way they look at us. Then there’s Jesus, the very definition of love. Who does he say you are? Jesus says you are precious in his sight, a treasure, the light of the world.

Jesus loves you.

Indeed, as the song says it well, “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so”. 1 John 4:19 tells me that Jesus loved us so much so that he endured the cross so that we would not have to go it alone. You’re not meant to feel unloved. Look up. Jesus Loves you.
