Why I Love Him

I don’t have a religion with a set of rules, or a certain law that I must rely on in order to receive the grace of God. I have Jesus as my personal saviour who hears my prayers and present it to God for me. I have a personal relationship that I know is everlasting and is there because God loved us first. He loved us first because He is our creator, and He wants us to love Him back the way He does unconditionally. Christianity is about believing in Jesus Christ His Son, who died for our sins so that our relationship with God can be restored forever. Only through Jesus we are friends of God, without Jesus there is no faith or His grace or eternal life with Him.

Before I became a Christian, I had no understanding of the Bible or Jesus and His love for us. I lived my life everyday thinking about whether there was ever going to be an end to all my troubles and pain. I struggled to let go off great anger and created much bitterness in my heart instead of praying to Jesus to help me find a way to understand. I knew there was a God and that He loved us all but I did not understand His powers and never thought about reading the Bible to know Him. Until, one day, I gave up my heart to Him, and God had turned my life around and saved me from my horrible life.  I have so much to be thanful for, for He has kept His promise by showing me the real power in His words. All of the sudden, I do not find my happiness in materialistic or people anymore; I have love in my heart and the Holy Spirit within me who keeps my path straight for me at all times. That emptiness does not exist anymore because I feel I am now worthy who is loved by someone greater than this world. I find so much happiness by just sharing my blessings with others, and I find that no matter how much I give away I receive twice the amount of love and comfort from Jesus Himself in many other ways.

Jesus is everything to me. There is nothing Jesus cannot do for me. He is the most powerful, the most awesome King. With Him I am safe, loved and cared for forever. He already lives in all of us, and wants to be part of us always. He died for us so that He can fulfil the new covenant with us. He wants to help restore our relationship with God, so that we can be with Him even after our death on earth. He is our gift from God, we should never ignore His love and take Him for granted. All we have to do is really seek Him and the Holy Spirit in everything we do and He will make us all successful in everything we do. His will is the best for us, and so I ask Him to let His will be done everyday in my prayers. Jesus is the best role model for everyone as He was the only one in history to exist and prove that He was perfect in God until death.

There is no one else I know who loves us more than Jesus who takes delight in showering us with His gifts in our daily lives.  If we just look around and open our eyes, you can see  His work through all living things.  But, out of all what He has done for us, by giving up His life on earth, the life He offers after death appeals to me most. Why? Because If I know that there is more to life, I am no longer afraid of death. I know that if I keep my faith in Jesus until the end I am going to heaven and will have eternal love and understanding that God had promised to all His children. He forgave us for our sins because we can only enter His Kingdom with a pure and innocent heart. In His Kingdom we will all be perfect and will forever feel one with God. Secondly, His forgiveness appeals to me too because there is so much peace after doing it. I have never felt so new, and free of guilt. I have been carrying so much burden and chains in my life, I never knew that I can be forgiven. I feel so loved and understood by just knowing that I am forgiven and that’s not the end of it. I can easily live life to love others and to be loved back is the most amazing gift ever. With God’s love and mercy, I can say that I am able to be in any situations  that I may face and walk with God until the end.
