5 Things I Dig About Jesus:
1. His personalness-- Jesus is personal!!! I love that He knows me and my struggles!!! This is what gets me through so many days!!! I know that He is watching and guiding and loving me!!! I know that He sees my tears and my achievements, He knows my joys, He knows my thoughts and hears my prayers!!! What a wonderful Savior!!!
Psalm 139:13 says "For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb." He made us personally!!!
2. His perfection-- Jesus is perfect!!! He is the only perfect person to ever live on this earth; thus our need for Him is great!!! Because of His perfection we see our imperfection!!! Psalm 19:7a states "The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul." His perfection is the example that He gave us to strive toward, but it is also the gift that He gave us to save our souls from eternal condemnation when He took on our imperfection at the cross and paid our debt! Hebrews 10:14 tells us that "by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." I am so thankful that He is willing to "perfect my faith" (Heb. 12:2).
3. His pardon-- Jesus gives pardon to those who confess their sins to him! I John 1:9 says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." I am so thankful for this merciful pardon of my sinfulness, and I thank Him for helping me to be more like Him on a daily basis!
4. His perfect gifts-- Jesus is THE gift!!! He is also the giver of every gift; my family, husband, children, home, talents, church, pets, and even the little blessings of our material possessions or moments of memories that we are a part of in this life!!! One of my favorite verses has been proven to me so many times, Ephesians 3:20,21 says "Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory..." Wow, Paul couldn't have said it any better!!! So many times I have prayed for things from God, some things He gave and others He didn't. He is amazing, and His gifts are perfect!!! James 1:17 says "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."
5. His peace-- Jesus is peace!!! He is the Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6). Ephesians 2:14 says "For he himself is our peace"! Psalm 29:11 says that "the LORD blesses his people with peace." Philippians 4:7 tells us that "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." He gives us peace in situations when it seems impossible to have peace!!! I have personally experienced this kind of peace from Him! Praise the Lord!!! This is something that people spend their whole lives searching for, and it is given freely from Him!!!
So, for some reason everything I was thinking of started with p!!! ;) Don't ask me why! Hahaha!!! These are the things that came to my heart and mind!!! Thanks be to God for these and many other things!!! :) Now I have to pick 5 people to tag!!!
