WHO LOVES YOU? JESUS DOES! Jerrica looked around at her family’s new house. Their latest change of station meant a different base to learn their way around, and another new school to figure out how to fit in at. She was so proud of her mom for dedicating her life to serving her country, and she never complained. Sometimes though, looking around the busy hallway of her new school in between classes, she felt incredibly lonely. No one knew her…she had no one to share a laugh with, or tell her secrets to. At home that night, Jerrica’s dad asked about her first week at school. She admitted how sad she’d been to say goodbye to her old friends and how alone she felt at this new, bigger school. He listened patiently, then stopped to remind her of the most important friend she had in life, and that He always journeyed with them to a new base, and even to a new school. Jesus wasn’t far away — He was right there with them.
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” —Romans 5:8
Jerrica and her dad prayed together, asking Jesus to be present every moment of the day, and to bless the family with opportunities to make friends in their new home. What a blessing to know that Jesus loves us everywhere we go…to the cross and back! ___________________
