Jesus loves you. He knows all about you... even your hidden thoughts and deepest fears. He also knows your weaknesses and your failures. And He still loves you.

Some people believe that they have to be perfect for God to love them. Not true!

In the words of Saint Paul, the real reason is... "not because of any righteous deed we may have done, but because of His mercy." (Titus 3:5) So be at peace and love Jesus.

Jesus doesn't love you in a small way. Think about it! He loves you tremendously.

A person may ask, "How can you be so sure, when you don't know me and the things that have happened in my life?"

Sadly, many people are unable to love themselves as they are.

They may be unhappy with their family situation, their appearance, their health, their job or their finances. Some may feel a sense of shame or regret because of things they may have done or for things that have been done to them.

They don't believe anyone could love them. They fail to realize that God loves them.

To feel His love for you, repeat, "Jesus loves me."

If you think that you are no good, then study the figure of Jesus nailed to the Cross. This is the measure of how much Jesus loves you and how important you are to Him.

You can be sure of Christ's great love for you... even if you are not the person you could be, or if bad things have happened to you.

Remember, out of love for us, Christ willingly died on the Cross.

For love to be complete, it needs to be returned
