Jesus has been there


No matter how low,
how poor,
how deprived
we are,
Jesus has been there.
He understands
our dismal surroundings
our lack of food
and sometimes shelter
He knows
of our struggles
to put food on the table
to pay bills
He sees
our dreams
and yes, even our nightmares
He desires
love and hope
for us all.
No matter how much pain
we bear,
Our Lord has been there
He continues to be there  --
walking, talking, guiding
He knows you
He knows me
He understands
how things can get the best of us.

He knows you.

But do you know Him?

Do you know
He was born to die
to set us free from sin?

Do you know
He holds every answer
to every question
we may have?

Do you know
He loves you and me
so much He died for us?

Our Lord,
our precious Lord
was crucified.

Any pain
we are dealt --
emotional, mental, physical –
cannot compete
with the pain undergone
by our Lord Jesus
and He did it all
out of Love

Love for you
Love for me
Love for all of mankind

It was because
of His great love
for you and me
that He went to the cross,
and died.

It was because
of His great love
for you and me
that death was not
the end.

It was because
of His great love
for you and me
that after 3 days
in the grave,
He arose.

It was because
of His great love
for you and me
He lives forever.

He offers us
Hope
Love
Peace
Joy
a future
a relationship
Salvation
Freedom

No matter where
we are now
or have been before ....
Jesus has been there
and
He can be with you now.
