Jesus Loves Me This I Know

Jesus Loves me this I know
For the bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The bible tells me so

Jesus Loves me when I am good
When I do the things I should
Jesus loves me when I am bad
But it makes Him very sad


Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The bible tells me so

I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say
That I love Him everyday

Yes, I love Jesus
Yes, I love Jesus
Yes, I love Jesus
My life will tell Him so.

Continue Pursuit of Him Twenty and Nine

"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus" Philippians 3:14

Press on is the key word in life, especially in the pursuit of God. Not because He is difficult to pursue, but because He is worthy of pursuing all my life. Then, what is this 'goal'? Not the goal to run after success as the world sees it, or sometimes people around you see it and nudge you to go after it. Not after things that do not last for eternity.

The goal is to grow in the knowledge of God, growing in the knowledge of God leads to amazement of Who He is which spirals up in intense love for Him and resulting in imbued desire for Him. And essentially with successive cycles, His desire becomes my desire.

Press on toward the goal! Press on toward the goal! Press on toward the goal!
