Jesus' Love Saves

I was reading Psalms 135 and 136 which is all about thanking our Lord.  Psalm 136 verses 1 and 2 are

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His loving kindness is everlasting. Give thanks to the God of gods, for His loving kindness is everlasting. 

The entire chapter is give thanks for God for something, followed by For His loving kindness if everlasting.  His love never ends, for ever and ever.

As I read this I wondered why am I not always thankful.  I really have no reason to not be thankful but I am at times. I think that I am not thankful because I really don't grasp the power that Jesus has and that he died on the cross to save us all and that his love does endure forever.

I wrote this poem some time ago about how we need to realize Jesus came to save us and we do need to keep our eyes on Him.

 Keep my eyes on Jesus

And he will fly me

 Above the storms that I endure

His strength is all I need

 Why do I not call upon

My savoir for every need

Am I too busy, too proud

 Too independent for his mercy

To know how I must

Rely on the one who saves

Who came to this earth

And develops my faith

 Why do I slap You in the face

And ignore You, Lord help me

Let me come to You

And climb upon your knee

 Let me know Your power

The one who feeds 5000

With 5 loaves and 2 fish

And walks on water like sand

 From Satan’s wicked grasp

From the enemy who steels

You came into my storm

You who rescued and healed

 The almighty one who has

Come to save and raise us all

From our sins and guilt

Nothings for You’s too small

 Saved from our past

And from ourselves

This savoir of ours

We do not deserve

 But with your nail scared hands

You did it all for love

Why? How could you?

Because you are love

We have just celebrated the death of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection, the purpose of why he came to this earth.

 My pray is that we will not forget that Jesus came to save this world for He loves us so and that we will be thankful always. That we will allow God to raise us up out of our troubles to focus on Him and not ourselves.
