Jesus Loves Me

Basically since I was old enough to be taken out of our house, I went to church with my family. I learned all of the Bible stories, and I could sing “Jesus Loves Me” pretty well. About a month before I turned 6, I was staying with a family friend while my parents were at work. When we were doing devotion time, Joy (the family friend) introduced me to man named Jesus. She told me that he was a forever friend that could live in my heart. When I went home that day, I told my parents that I wanted to ask Jesus into my heart. My father and I talked for a long time. I was a pretty articulate little girl, so he just asked me a bunch of questions to be sure I knew what I was saying. That day, I prayed with my dad that Jesus would be my Lord and Savior.…

goals. Mary-Ann was a wonderful person, who always cared for others before herself. She is a caring, loving and most importantly bequeathing. Whenever she was singing “ Jesus Loves Me” or “ Happy Birthday” you knew she was in her sunny place. Numerous things were obstacles for her but she always found a way to lend a hand. “ You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” Mary always wanted to impact someone's life whether it was by singing happily…

everywhere. Over several nights I pondered why I had this life. Why couldn’t I have a “normal” family as my friends did? Why didn’t my dad call to know if I was ok? Why didn’t he appear when I mostly needed him? I would love to have an answer, but I really don’t have one. I could see how my mom would usually suffer when I felt sad, depress or self-down. She knew I was having problems, but she didn’t know how to fix them and she would try to do anything at her reach to make me feel better. For…

resulted in opinions, false hope, lies and deceit but instead I fell to my knees and called on my Lord and he heard my cries and answered. Since these experiences happened they equipped me to know that God has a plans for my life, the world can be deceitful, and God works out all things for good which will help me be a successful…

attended a Catholic school. At the start of Pre-K I was introduced to Jesus Christ. Maybe I don’t fully remember the times I spent praying when I was four and in Pre-K but I’m positive from what I’ve seen throughout the years each little kid was taught a prayer at a young age. Though at that time I was young and introduced to my faith through prayer at even at a younger age I was welcomed into my Catholic faith. Getting baptized when I was just a baby was the beginning of what would lead my…

Jesus’ identity and purpose has been a great source of discussion and investigation through the years. Although many people do not seem to believe in the importance and legacy of His life, there are many profs and facts that show the meaning of His days physically living in our world. Jesus came to show us the correct way to live and direct our actions towards others. For example, in Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus speaks about loving one’s enemies. He mentions how important it is to love, bless and pray…

understanding what the life of Jesus is all about. Why Jesus said the things he said, and did during His time. Everything He did and said has a purpose for our lives so we could reflect on, and follow his righteous life. As we dissected the gospel of Matthew, that alone gave me so much understanding of the life of Jesus, his teachings, and mission in life. The bible has so much more meaning to me since I first started this class. Now, I have more knowledge of why certain parables are included in…

knowledge of Jesus, thinking that he had to learn to walk and talk just like you and me. To think the word made flesh had to be potty trained just seems weird but understandable if God has come to experience the human condition. What jumped out at me in this chapter was the reference to Jesus living by sight not by faith and that it was held as Catholic theological tradition by Aquinas and others. “In his human mind Jesus enjoyed the beatific vision and hence lived by sight, not by faith” (266).…
