Day 6: Real Love



I really LOVE JESUS.

I never thought I was going to be one of "them", but I am.

I cry when I think of HIM, with healing happy tears

as HE is really REAL as HE birthed something in me

that was laying dormant for so long,

that I didn't even realize that I was missing HIM.

All I want to do is talk about HIM.

All I want is for everyone to LOVE HIM too.

LOVE is more than just a word.

LOVE is who JESUS is

because who LOVES someone so deeply

that HE would be BORN as a BABY

and give up HIMSELF

to go through life to be

REJECTED

DESPISED

QUESTIONED

SHAMED

DENIED

MISUNDERSTOOD

and then have the staying power

to look at those who

CONDEMNED HIM

like a criminal.

But HE let them crucify HIM

in front of all who

LOVED HIM

and those who had no clue that

HE REALLY IS THE KING

who so LOVES.

But then again HE did know

as HE still had the breath left in HIS lungs

to say

“FATHER, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34)

that fell upon the ears of

those who LOVED HIM

&

those who didn't LOVE HIM

&

those who didn't know if they should or shouldn't LOVE HIM.

Oh I can't imagine the scene.

In the past, when I think about what I would have done if I there was there,

I would have been a PETER and denied I knew HIM.

But now I know what I would do

and if I did it

I probably would have been put on a cross right next to HIM.

And you know what~

I would LOVE it

because I would have stood out in the crowd and screamed

"Don't touch my JESUS".

My JESUS. Your JESUS.

And even those who crucified HIM,

HE is their JESUS.

I am FOREVER one of those who LOVE JESUS more than my life

as I continue to walk out in faith to let everyone know

because HE is who HE says HE is.

HE is the REAL GOD who came to earth

to be swaddled in RAGS,

in our RAGS,

to experience

what all humans experience in a lifetime

because that is who JESUS is.

HE understands

pain & hurt & rejection & condemnation & loneliness & sadness & whatever you are experiencing in this very moment.

Do your really LOVE JESUS?

Look up to the CROSS

and you will see what appears to be

a little helpless BABY

dressed in a diaper.

But the TRUTH is that

you will see a KING draped in the RICHES of

HOPE

PEACE

JOY

because of a

LOVE that needs no words,

because LOVE is an action

that is a GIFT GIVEN

to be RECEIVED by one and all.

Will you fall in LOVE with this BABY

who is our KING

who LOVED you to HIS DEATH

so that we can all LIVE as LOVED

in this very moment that lasts

beyond CHRISTMAS

because the little BABY

took the walk from the cradle to the cross.

For

WHO IS THIS BABY~

HE is our

"CHRISTMAS HALLELUJAH" (listen to the song below)
