God loves us... :D

hey guyz...well just came back from Y4J,we saw The Passion,today being Good Friday...now it wasnt the first time i saw it, but today i felt like i had to post this...i dunno how many of u knw to what extent Jesus actually loves us... its so hard to imagine...NONE of us are capable of loving with such greatness!!...now as i said i just came back from seein the passion and Jesus said these words "You are my friends and the greatest love a person can have for his friends is to give his life for them" wow guyz wow...i mean i'm speechless...sometimes we forget how much Jesus loves us...do u knw wat they did to Jesus...how many times they whipped Him..and He knew that this was coming...He knew but He still went through with it for us, coz he loves us so much he went through all that bleedin all that pain and suffering that no man should ever endure...He did it for us guyz for us so that we can be free, free from sin, which enslaves us...all He asks for in return is to accept Him and to follow Him, instead of ridiculing Him and denying Him..guyz lets not be like the apostles...almost all of them abandoned Him, His closest friend denied even knowing Him, guyz lets not do that...a friend of mine once said that we are all so scared of dying (for God for example) for our own selfish needs kind of...now Jesus died on that cross and went through so much torture so that we might say yes to Him (it was somethin like that anyway) and that struck me so much bcoz its so true so many of us dnt accept Him but He died for that slim chance that we'd dare to be different and follow Him...He loves us so much and yes i knw ive said that a lot on this post but He does guyz He rly does and He loves us just as we are no exeptions to Him we are all beautiful... and we can take off our mask in front of Him and He is ALWAYS ready to take us back all He wants is for us to love Him back....

ok now im gna change the like subject just a tiny bit...some of u might be sayin ohh but lifes so horrible life is negative against me God isnt there...and stuff like that but guyz He IS there He is... most of u have heard this story but ill write it for those who havent or for those that need remindin...

FOOTPRINTS

one night i dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprintsin the sand, one belonged to me and one to my Lord.

When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.

"Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me."

He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

I just love that story guyz...coz the thing is by following Jesus not all your problems will go away, you'll still have bad times, but He promises to be with you through all of that, and in your darkest hour He'll shine and carry you...coz our God is an awesome God....
