Thank you, Jesus . . . for rescuing me.
I was arrogant, self-seeking, and prideful. I didn’t need You. But You chose me and laid bare my depravity. A knife to my soul. A necessary pain, to break away the old and form the new and I am forever grateful!
For though He wounds, He also bandages. He strikes but His hands also heal. Job 5.18
Thank you, Jesus . . . for giving me life.
A life everlasting. A life that begins now! My old way of living was a meager existence, a barely-getting-by reality. But now I’ve stepped into a new reality, a new way of living. Embracing the journey You have for me, viewing my circumstance through a new lens, knowing You are shaping me with a future purpose in mind!
I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look God’s home is now among His people! He will live with them, and they will be His people. God Himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” And the One sitting on the throne said, “Look I am making everything new!” Revelation 21.3-53
Thank you, Jesus . . . for making me Your beloved daughter.
No matter where I go, no matter what happens to me, no matter what someone says about me, I’m your child! Nothing and no one (including me) will ever change that! I am Your most precious possession. You love me with an everlasting love.
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! 1 John 3.1
I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to Myself. Jeremiah 31.3
Thank you, Jesus . . . for your faithfulness to me.
You never give up on me. You never throw in the towel. No matter what I do or say, you remain faithful. You are the SAME, yesterday, today and forever! Your love for me knows no end. My behavior never changes who You are.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13.8
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3.22-23
Thank you, Jesus . . . for knowing me.
You know me and yet you still love me! You know my thoughts, intents and desires. You know what’s best for me, what I need and what I don’t. You are always for me.
O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. Psalm 139.1-2
Thank you, Jesus . . . for allowing me to know You!
You have given me Your Word so that I may know You. This isn’t a casual relationship but an intimate, personal, all-consuming one! You are the lover of my soul and You desire me to know You.
This is what the Lord says:
Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: That they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken! Jeremiah 9.24
