(John 15:9)

"I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Live within my love."

JESUS LOVES YOU!!!! Many times we get to a point in our life where we feel like no one really cares about us or really loves us. I want to assure you this morning, that Jesus loves you more than you can ever know. Because He came to this earth and walked where we walk each day, He understands the problems and difficulties of our daily life.

That is one reason why our prayers have so much meaning. Jesus understands what it is like to have a sick friend. He understands what it is like to have people we love in trouble. He understands when your lives are in a mess. Jesus knows, He understands, He cares... and most of all, He loves you deeply.

The reason it is important is because these are not just mere words. No my friend. These words were backed up over 2000 years ago when Christ PROVED that He loves you by readily giving His life as a sacrifice for YOUR sins. The Bible tells us that "greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." He gave His life to insure that you would have a chance to have your sins forgiven and be eternally with God your Creator!

Another way that Jesus proves His love for you is by His promise to never leave you or forsake you. When we go through the storms of life, often we may feel alone. Friends may abandon you. Family may abandon you. Your church may abandon you. But Jesus said He would NEVER abandon you! You can always count on Him to stand with you through those trials and tribulations that you will face during this life. Never forget, no matter how alone you may feel sometimes, Jesus loves you so much that He will be with you no matter what!

Not only does Jesus love you, but Jesus loves you UNCONDITIONALLY! This means that you can be sure that no matter what you have done, are doing, or will do, Jesus loves you. THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE JESUS STOP LOVING YOU! Is He disappointed with how you act at times? Yes. Is He hurt by some of the choices that you make? Yes. But there is NOTHING that you can ever do to stop Jesus from loving you. He loves you unconditionally!

I pray today, that you dwell on and come to the realization just how much Jesus loves you and cares about you. Sometimes, just comprehending this simple truth can make all the difference in our life. In the complexities of our life, we often need to get back to basic truths to maintain our focus. Nothing is more basic, more real, than the love Jesus has for you.

As you go thru this day, and deal with the problems of life we all face, keep in the front of your mind the love Jesus has for you. Let that knowledge give you hope in the hard times, and peace in those times where things are going OK. As you make those daily decisions, remember Jesus loves you. You can reciprocate that love by doing those things which will be pleasing to Him. Remembering His love for us, wanting to please Him, helps us to make the right decisions throughout the day.

I love you and care about you so much. I am grateful for each one of you and your concern for others. Keep this ministry in your prayers as we tell people worldwide each day just how much Jesus loves them. Thank you for helping spread the word about this great oasis of hope on the Internet called Liveprayer. You are very special to me. But more important, you are very special to Jesus.

May you be richly blessed today and never forget, JESUS LOVES YOU!!!!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
