Reason #8 To Fall In Love With Jesus (Guest Post by Nancy Rue)

I am so, so sorry I didn't post this yesterday! I was out late Sunday night and didn't go to bed until almost 3am. Monday morning was spent sleeping and then I had to work from 2-11pm and, when I got home, I completely forgot (probably due to the fact that I was still in shock from the wreck I was in on my way to work - don't worry! I'm completely fine and so are the cars!). So here's reason #8 and #9 will be posted later tonight or sometime tomorrow.

If you're just joining us or missed any of the posts so far, here are the links for all of the previous posts of this series.
Reason #1: No matter what you have going on, Jesus is there to handle it with you.
Reason #2: Because Jesus brings you to life.
Reason #3: Because Jesus makes SURE you understand.
Reason #4: Because Jesus makes you want to try harder and be better.
Reason #5: Because Jesus knows exactly how you feel, all the time.
Reason #6: Because Jesus forgives your sins.
Reason #7: Because Jesus shows you exactly what to do in tough situations. 

Happy Valentine’s Week, Mini-Women! We have found 7 reasons to FALL IN LOVE WITH JESUS and we have 3 more to go! I’m jazzed to be spending part of it with you here on Sarah Elizabeth's blog. If you have been here for the past 7 posts, you know the drill, but for you first-timers, here’s what we are up to:
Like most M-W’s, you’re probably way aware that the Valentine’s Day season is here, and you probably either love the cards, the candy, the frills – or you can’t wait for the thing to be over because it makes you so painfully aware of who DOESN’T like you! One being DOES like you. He loves you, in fact. He’s just waiting for YOU to fall in love with HIM. Why would you? In ten different posts, each one giving you a peek at a feature from the FaithGirlz Bible, we’re giving you a Reason To Fall In Love With JESUS. Here’s the eighth one.

Reason #8: Because Jesus always takes you back when you wander off. When you were a little kid (or maybe even now!) and you strayed from your mom or dad in Wal-Mart or someplace, they always took you back when you found them or they had to find you. I mean, right? They might have been mad at you, grounded you, took away your computer privileges, but they didn’t say, “Sorry, kid, but you aren’t ours anymore.” Can you even imagine that happening? Jesus is exactly like your parents only he leaves out the punishment. If you get sidetracked, forget to pray, whine about going to church, have a season where you and your friends are snarky to people – as soon as you realize you’ve wandered off, you can go straight back to Jesus and he’ll take you in. And continue to teach you. And you’ll wander away less and less. Ya gotta love how that works.
Blessings,
Nancy Rue
