Jesus loves you

It's amazing to me how someone would love me so much that he would have thought of me and noticed me before I ever noticed him. He saw my need, my filth, my sin, my guilt and my shame and yet he thought I was desirable. He said, I love you through the greatest act of sacrifice. He redeemed us with his blood at the cross. He gave up his life because he saw our worth. He wanted to be with us for ever. The greatest act of sacrifice is that he would lay down his life just to be with me, and you, and you and all of you. Then he rose again from the dead. He had the power to defeat death. He is risen! Then he will come again to take us to be with him for all of eternity. Did you know that someone could love you so much?

One day, i read an article by the famous Hollywood actress Candace Cameron Bure where she told the interviewer about her relationship with Jesus and how she wants to tell the world about him. She was happy about the way that Jesus was changing her family's life for the better but it wasn't until she realized that she was a bad person, unworthy of God that she became thankful of Jesus and that he would pay the price for her sins and would take her place. Since then, I've thought about the scripture she shared Galatians 3:13-15 and my worth in God's eyes. 

1. Psalms 139:13-18

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.

2. Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

3. Galatians 3:13-14

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

4. Ephesians 1:7

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

5. Matthew 10:31

Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

6. Luke 12:7

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

7. Matthew 7:6

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
