“Jesus loves me this I know”

I visited with my grandchildren recently. They are tiny and they are precious to me. As I was sitting there with them on my lap, I asked them to sing to me and they sang “Jesus loves me” and it was positively Angelic! I am certain that there is no sweeter sound in all the world, that the voices of toddlers and small children singing that song. Of course, I taught them that song and they love to sing it and so do I. The thought that JESUS who is GOD loves me or anybody for that matter is amazing, isn’t it? That THE GOD of the Universe, Maker of Heaven and earth, Creator of all that is,would love me –a human, is mind-boggling. Humans, no matter what they accomplish in this life, are after all mere mortals, not GOD, and the finite abilities that we have a tendency to be proud of, are really not much compared to GOD’s handiwork. I am always humbled by the reality of tiny hands and tiny feet and tiny bodies but powerful voices that sing loud and clear, often at the top of their lungs, the absolute truth that Jesus does indeed love us all. It is written, “for GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on HIM, should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
