Love Letter

God wrote a love letter, to you and to me;
It’s there in the Bible, for all men to read.
And each time I read it, that Gospel of John,
It reminds me His love lasts forever and beyond.

He put it in writing, so that we could be sure
That His love is for all, and will ever endure.
I’m so thankful He wrote it, that letter of love,
Written to sinners by our Father above.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.
(John 3:16)

Jesus Hugs

Have you ever had a “Jesus hug”,
Do you know what one feels like?
If you’ve never had a “Jesus hug”,
I pray one day you might.

A “Jesus hug” is different,
As far as hugging goes;
It’s a little taste of Heaven,
Here on earth below.

Only those who love the Lord,
Can give a “Jesus Hug”;
It conveys God’s grace and mercy,
And unconditional love.

Those who give out “Jesus hugs”
Always seem to somehow know
Just when you’re in need of one
To make your spirit glow.

And if you ever need one
I hope that I will see,
So I can give you a “Jesus hug”;
Just like someone did for me.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love
one another; as I have loved you, that you also love
one another. By this all will know that you
are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
(John 13:34 NIV)
