How can you really know that Jesus loves you? Whether you’re in the middle of a deep trial, pressed and low; or else just muddling through your normal, everyday routine, how can you connect with Jesus and know that His heart beats for you? Will He tell you? Will He actually communicate with your heart? Are you just supposed to look at His life in the Scriptures and find the proof of His love? I’m not really sure what the answer is. I think it’s probably some combination of both of those things. When you know Jesus and you look at His life in the Word - the way He lived and the things He said - I believe He tells your heart the things you’re longing to hear. When you see Him reaching out to weary and broken people, I think He is trying to tell you, “I love you, too. No matter what you’ve done or who you’ve been.” When you see Him healing diseases and calming storms, I think He is trying to speak into the tumult and hurt of your life saying, “I want to bring healing and peace to you.” It’s easy to feel as though Jesus did the things He did out of obligation. He had to save us, because who else could? But when you read about that dark night in the garden and you see Him sweating blood, I think He’s speaking to you. He’s telling you that He gave His blood even before they drew it. He wasn’t just doing His job, but He saved you because He wanted to. Before they took His blood, Jesus was giving it for you. Ask Him to speak that love to you right now.
