I was visiting in a foreign country, far away from my home and my family. I was feeling lonely that day, wishing I could see my dear wife and children. A short while later I heard a voice singing and I stopped to listen. What do you think I heard? I looked across to the house next to the one where I was staying. There, on the front porch sitting in a little rocking chair was a little girl. As she rocked back and forth, she sang,
Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.
I cannot tell you how this cheered me. I am sure the Lord Jesus was using that little girl to shine for Him and to tell others, anyone who would listen, about His love for them.
Do you know that Jesus loves you? He loved you so much that He died on the cruel cross of Calvary for you. He wants you to know that He loves you, and He wants you to trust in Him and have your sins washed away in His precious blood. Just tell Him that you are a sinner, and that you want Him to wash your sins away — and He will. Then you will be happy and able to sing,
“Jesus loves me! This I know,
for the Bible tells me so... "
“The Son of God [Jesus]... loved me, and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20.
