Happy Sabbath Everyone!
I came across a really neat verse in my Bible reading this week, and just had to write it down so I could share it with all of you. Did you know that Jesus prayed for YOU? He prayed specifically thinking about YOU? Or in my case, ME? Before I was even "on the way" to being born, Jesus knew all about me, and He prayed for me. It says so right here:
"I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message." John 17:20
Isn't that beautiful? Just to think of Jesus praying for me leaves me speechless.
So many sad things in this world. This week, so many have struggled with hurricane damage--some even losing their lives. I just found out today that a dear friend of ours is on hospice care now, and not expected to live past another week or two. Not the kind of news I wanted to hear.
I am so glad that Jesus knows all about it. He knows what our needs are. He knows when we lose a loved one. He knows what it's like to live in this sinful world.
And He loves us too much to leave us here.
He prayed for Me.
I am written on His hands.
He is coming back for Me.
And I will live with Him forever and ever. The only REAL "Happily Ever After" story.
Jesus and Me.
Jesus and You.
Have a wonderful next week--walking with your Savior who prayed for you.

I love that verse too. It gives me hope on the days I get discouraged or begin to feel He doesn't care...
"The only REAL "Happily Ever After" story" So very true. I love the idea of Him caring enough to pray for us - He knew how hard life would be and He knew we needed prayers. What encouragement. Lisa :o)
