Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.

Last night, I woke up around 4am and couldn’t seem to get comfortable to drift back off to sleep. A full night’s sleep is something that eludes me as I grow older. As I was wondering how long I would be awake, a song popped into my thoughts – the children’s hymn “Jesus Loves Me”. The first verse kept going over and over in my mind and before you know it, I had fallen back to sleep.

This morning as I awoke, I remembered what had happened. I then thanked God for helping me to remember how much He loves me. His Spirit comforts us during the dark hours of the night when rest is difficult.

After I got up, I looked up the entire song on the internet. The last verse is such comfort to all who are in Christ.

Jesus loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
Thou hast bled and died for me,
I will henceforth live for Thee.

Heavenly Father, thank You that You love me! I am weak, but You are strong. I can depend on You in all situations, even those times when I awake at night and have trouble getting back to sleep. Praises to You my King! Amen.

Always praying for the glory of God,
