My Jesus
What does it mean to be a believer in Christ? Should we follow the example that he set before us?
A song that has resonated with us in the past year or so, is certainly still speaking to us today…..
I am paying close attention to this stanza:
’cause my Jesus bled and died
He spent his time with thieves and liars
He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant
So which one do you want to be?
If this is true, and I believe that it is, how can we ever push to have our rights validated? How can we seek to be correct in everything? How can we seek our own purposes?
When there are so many people in this world that are crying out to just be loved, how can I turn my back on them? No matter what their sin…..they still are loved by God. They do matter to Him. How can I love them any less?
My prayer is that I would never get to a point of being looked at by God as arrogant and self serving—may I always be open to loving whomever is placed in my path and that I would do so by the example of My Jesus.
Christy, what a powerful video. I had not heard that song before. Thank you for sharing it. May we all be willing to love and help the poor and needy. Jesus was willing to serve the least of mankind. I think it is our mandate to do the same. My prayer echoes yours. God bless you today.

Good word, Christy. I hope to always remember the mud-pit that Jesus lifted me out of!
