What Does Jesus Love?

Jesus loves His people unconditionally, but that doesn’t give His followers a blank check to do whatever they want and to act in any manner they choose. Here are some actions Jesus loves:

  • When we feed the hungry.
  • When we give to the poor.
  • When we give second chances for real or perceived wrongs.
  • When we meet the felt needs of the suffering.
  • When we meet the needs of the infirm and visit the sick in hospitals.
  • When we make an elderly person smile.
  • When we forgive people who do and say things we don’t understand.
  • When we show love to one another.
  • When we show love and compassion to those outside the church.
  • When we show love and act in compassion to those who consider themselves our enemies.
  • When we admit we are wrong.
  • When we come to Him for healing, direction, forgiveness and love.

He Loves You Anyway

Jesus knows everything you’ve done.
Every mistake you’ve made,
Every time you’ve failed,
Every time you’ve made a fool of yourself,
Every time you’ve fallen short of your goals,
He loves you anyway.

Jesus knows everything you’ve said.
Every lie you’ve told,
Every time you’ve hurt another person,
Every insult you’ve thrown,
Every joke you’ve told,
Every comment you’ve made,
Every curse word you’ve uttered,
Everything that has ever come out of your mouth,
He loves you anyway.

Jesus knows everything you’ve thought.
Every evil desire,
Every cruel thought,
Every scheme you’ve made,
Every lustful thing you’ve imagined,
Everything you’ve ever thought of doing,
He loves you anyway.

Jesus knows everything you’ve felt.
Every time you’ve been jealous,
Every time you’ve been hateful,
Every time you’ve been bitter,
Every time you’ve been tempted,
He loves you anyway.

Jesus knows everything you’ve seen.
Every magazine you’ve read,
Every picture you’ve looked at,
Every movie you’ve watched,
Everything you’ve ever looked at,
He loves you anyway.

Jesus knows everything you’ve heard.
Every song you’ve listened to,
Every lie you’ve bought,
All the gossip you’ve believed,
Every rumor you’ve heard,
He loves you anyway.

Jesus knows every secret you’ve kept.
Everything you’ve hidden from others,
Everything you won’t let others see or know,
Everything you won’t even tell your best friend,
Every side to your personality,
Every skeleton in your closet,
He loves you anyway.

Jesus knows your every weakness.
All of your fears,
Every promise you’ve broken,
Every time you’ve let others down,
Every time you’ve let yourself down,
Every time you’ve lost hope,
He loves you anyway.

Jesus knows everything you’ve hidden.
Every time you’ve been impatient,
And worn a mask,
Every tear you’ve ever shed,
Every storm you’ve weathered,
Every time you’ve fallen down,
Every insecurity you have,
Every ounce of hatred and bitterness within you,
Every secret pain you’ve locked away,
He loves you anyway.
