Jesus Loves You

"Jesus love me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so."

Such a simple childrens song, yet so deep and rich in meaning. Have you ever really thought about it?

Jesus loves me. Seems fairly simple doesn't it? But how many people, even christians don't get it? How many people live their lives, and do things they know they shouldn't because they either feel the need to earn someones love, or the feel unloved? How many guys and gals have slept around because the wanted their partner in lust to 'love' them? How many people have torn their own bodies up with SI because they didn't feel loved? How many people do drugs or drink simply to 'fit in' with their peers? All that is is a desire for their peers to value them, to love them. How many christians mouth the words to all the songs and talk in christianese just to belong someplace?

"Does Jesus really love me? I mean, how can he? I've screwed up so much, I don't deserve anyones love, much less someone who knows me inside out. I mess up so much, God can't actually use me for anything. He can't. I won't let him love me, other people deserve it so much more than me." A voice so filled with dispair, yet also filled with much truth. You have screwed up. You don't deserve His love. You've messed up, we all have, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But God isn't looking for perfect people, He'd never find them. He wants you. He loves you. How can he? Because thats what He is, Love. Your very existince is proof that He loves you. Not because if He didn't love you, He'd smight you dead, though He could. But because He created you with a word. He formed you in His thoughts. Can you even imagine that? Being thought of by love, not by someone who loves, but by Love itself. Omnipotent, eternal, infinite, all thinking about you. An infinite mind thinking about you all the time. Imagine if even the combined minds of every human on the planet thought about you all the time, knew you inside and out, every thought and action, and then still loving you. That's nothing, nothing compared to the way God loves you.

The Adventures of Squirrel Boy!!

on the street of east new york,
beneath the dirt and grime,
lived a man without a fork,
a towel or even dime,

this man, who's name was earl,
lived with one goal in mind,
with his unending search for a pearl,
the greatest of all its kind,

he traveled far and near and far,
from river drive to hudson,
until he came, without a fear,
to the park named cutson,

the trees grew thick,
right near the path,
he did not feel sick,
when he saw a sight that made him laugh,

there in the woods
there lived a squirrel,
and in between his hands there sat
a round and perfect pearl

the squirrel sat there,
upon its log,
its eyes glowed green,
in its nuked up bog,

just escaped from a government lab,
this squirrel was radioactive,
after reaching the park from a newyork cab,
he felt no longer a captive,

earl snuck forward through the grass,
toward the green eyed squirrel,
slinking low, yet moving fast,
he tried to reach that pearl,

the squirrel gave a jump and whirl,
and flying through the air,
landed on the man named earl,
and gave a yank on his hair,

its teeth sank into the man's scalp,
and gloopy goop flooded in,
he hadn't a chance to cry for help,
before he was changed by the venom of that Sciurus carolinensin,

he felt his body change right then,
you could see it by his eyes,
and soon the world began to spin,
and he fell like a man who dies,

he woke up, feeling quite strange,
but this was no suprise,
his body was not at all like those with mange,
he voice chirped the pitch having grown in size,

he realized what had happened,
as he gave a high pitched sigh,
he knew that he now captained,
squirrels of every size,

squirrel man he was now,
walking from the path of past,
squirrels would now all give a bow,
he had found his place at last.
