Jesus Loves You

Today, as I was driving to work, I felt like Jesus was telling me..

Tell everyone you meet today, that I love them...

At first, the task felt daunting.... It seems as soon as I become comfortable with reaching out, He propels me to reach out in a new way....

At first, I was a little frightened...but I remembered that fear is Not of God...

My coworkers....most already know that I have taken a stand for Christ...
I have shared blog posts with a few...and we have often had engaging discussions and I tell them of the many things that Jesus is doing in my life...

He has had me reach out to a few in various ways....

A few of my coworkers are a little mean...on the rude side..I never know if they are joking with me...or if they see someone they can pick on....
either way, I wonder if it has anything to do with my stance for Christ...

Jesus loves you...When it is spoken...it sounds rather simple...but it speaks an immense truth..

I told a lady at the gas station the other day that Jesus loves her..She kindof made some sort laughing noise..I couldn't really tell how she responded...
I think so many people don't know what to think...Jesus has been abused by so many....People who have been hurt by a "Christian"...often blame Christ for their pain.....
Jesus is mocked and ridiculed...So it's not always easy to look someone in the eye or send an email that says, Jesus loves you..
But it is true..It is the one fact that we can hold onto... It was we can embrace to claim the freedom that is ours...

I don't want to become content with not reaching out...i want to grow..to expand....it's sometimes hard in a work environment where Jesus isn't really talked about... I am finding that Jesus is treated as taboo in the workplace....

It's really sad.... I sometimes see people at work with Bibles...but not many ever talk about Him...
Lately, however, there have been some curisoity that has been aroused by my stand for Christ..
It has allowed me to witness in varying ways...
But I know that I want to one day reach a point of confidence where I can go up to everyone I meet and it becomes the norm to say, "Jesus Loves You."
If nothing else, it reminds them that there is more. It reminds them that there is more to this life than what we can see with the eyes...Perhaps, then they will search...or they will remember a Man they used to know ....a long, long time ago...
Maybe thier eyes will be opened..with just three little words, Jesus loves you.

what's so scary about that? Love. Love is the most brilliant and blessed thing of all. Love is the reason He died so that we may live...so that we might have hope in an imperfect, sinful, sometimes very difficult world...

Today, i was a little afraid but I send some emails....I kept it simple..Jesus loves you.
Nothing more really needs to be said. When I come back to work, I'll send out a few more...and then a few more....
We can only conquer fear when we stare it in the face and say, "NO!" You will not hinder the works that He has called me to...
we are living in a lost world....People need to know one thing...Jesus loves You.

If you are reading this post, rest in the fact...That Jesus Loves You.
Nuff said.
