Jesus Loves Me This I Know
As a young child I grew up sitting in Sunday School and almost every Sunday from my tiny chair I heard that God loved me. That was good enough for my young brain. God loved me and that was really all I needed to know about that.
Now that I am a twentish young adult maybe I am just a little weak in the faith department but after going through times when I am missing someone terribly or dreading something painful or stressing out over some situation, I have started to have some tiny doubts about Gods love. Just for that moment. Not anything faith shattering, only a little fear that maybe His love is just another part of life that will let me down or just another relationship I’m a little too dependent upon. It would flash through my mind and then be gone.
I think it just goes to show that God can use hearts that aren’t even His. Godspell took my doubting heart EVERY night and caused me to drink up the uncomplicated love for the Father who made me. The childlike joy of the Gospel couldn’t be stopped from streaming into my life in and out of the show. The simple pleasure of sharing God’s love with others made me appreciate that love anew in my life. There really is no need for my analytical head to complicate Him and His love!
This summer I was fortunate to take a jaunt back to a simple and overwhelming love of my Savior that I hadn’t seen in years though the beauty of the Godspell. I hope that every person who saw Godspell was able to feel the joy that I felt flowing out of every word and I pray His joy would be the perfect remedy to any little faith hiccups that have crept up into any mature lives!
My heart is about to burst with love for my cast mates, with gratitude to everyone who made me feel so at home and with thankfulness for other lessons learned so I'll just sign off with:
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Littleones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong
