You are Somebody Because Jesus Loves You.



There was a song that was performed by Dean Martin called  "You're Nobody Till
Somebody Loves You."  I thought a lot about that old tune and it got me to thinking
that a person is basing his self-esteem on a pretty flimsy foundation if he/she needs
the feelings of someone else to feel he/she is somebody.  Feelings of love, as nice
as that can be, are fickle at best and fleeting at worst. Not everyone is going to like
or love you and in this worldly culture, people seem to base love on the outward or
in what a person has (e.g. money) And basing love on the aforementioned things
is basing that on a flimsy foundation as well. Physical appearances and wealth are also
fleeting.

 But there is a love which is by far, greater than any love human love could ever give
and that is the love of Jesus Christ, who loved you and I so much that He gave His
life willingly for us to pay a debt we could not pay.
 Jesus' love is the kind of love with the sturdiest and strongest foundation and all we
have to do is accept Him as our personal Savior.  He loves you, why not invite Him
into your heart? He sees you as somebody special.

Have a blessed day.
